2018 Map of Reconnaissance Peak

About this map

Sierra Valley dominates the lower half of this landscape, where a complex network of agricultural and natural waterways includes the N Channel Little Last Chance Cr, E Channel Little Last Chance Cr, and Dyson Slough. This level basin contrasts sharply with the northern mountainous terrain of the Plumas National Forest, marked by prominent high points such as Reconnaissance Peak, Sugar Loaf, and Table Rock. The small settlement of Hawley and the nearby Nervino Airport serve as central landmarks at the transition between the valley floor and the rising uplands. To the south, the presence of Marble Hot Springs indicates the geothermal activity of the region, while named features like Dotta Saddle and Frenchman Cove provide specific locational data for researchers tracing historical land use and travel routes through the Plumas County mountains.
