About this map

American Valley serves as the focal point for this mid-1990s survey, where the seat of Plumas County and its surrounding mountain communities are documented in detail. The town of Quincy is the central hub, characterized by a mix of civic infrastructure like the County Hospital and USFS Supervisors Office alongside historic industrial markers. Evidence of the region’s long-standing mining and timber heritage is visible in the hills, from the Imperial Mine and Hungarian Placer Mine to the Cedar Mill located near Mill Creek.

Transport and education are key features of the local landscape, with the Feather River Route railroad skirting the valley and Feather River College situated to the north. Beyond the residential and commercial areas of East Quincy, the terrain rises toward Mount Hough and Claremont, punctuated by specialized land use areas such as the Butterfly Valley Botanical Area and a significant State Game Refuge within the Plumas National Forest.
