About this map

American Valley serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey of the Plumas County seat. The central settlement of Quincy is depicted alongside its neighbors, East Quincy and the rail-dependent Quincy Junction, showing a landscape defined by the timber and mining industries. Small-scale operations such as the Cedar Mill and Sawmill sit near the Western Pacific Railroad tracks, while the surrounding hills are dotted with legacy gold workings like the Imperial Mine and the Hungarian Placer Mine. This era of development is marked by the presence of the Gansner Airport and the County Fairground, illustrating the town's role as a regional hub.
