1950 Map of Quincy
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Quincy serves as the hub of the American Valley during this mid-century period, showing a community structured around the Western Pacific Railroad and regional services. The town site includes the County Fairground, Gansner Airport, and High Sch, while the surrounding slopes of the Plumas National Forest are marked by the legacy of resource extraction. Local industry is represented by the Cedar Mill and the Sawmill on Mill Creek, alongside several mining operations such as the Imperial Mine and Newtown Mine. To the east, East Quincy and the Thompson Valley appear as expanding residential and agricultural areas. The cultural landscape is further defined by the Pioneer Sch, an Indian Cemetery, and the U.S. Agriculture Experiment Sta, reflecting a diverse history of land use and settlement in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
