About this map

Plumas National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this map, where the high terrain of the Diamond Mountains drops into the expansive Sierra Valley. Peaks and geological formations such as Reconnaissance Peak, Table Rock, and the distinctive Sugar Loaf overlook a complex network of drainage channels including the N Channel Little Last Chance Cr. The transition from the timbered heights of Dotta Canyon to the floor of the Sierra Valley illustrates the shift from industrial forest lands to the agricultural and open-space character of this region of Plumas County.

Transportation and infrastructure center around the settlement of Hawley and the Nervino Airport, providing essential connectivity in this high-altitude landscape. Along the valley floor, the presence of Marble Hot Springs and drainage features like Dyson Slough indicate the unique hydrology of the area, while historical land divisions are noted by township markers like t23n r14e and t23n r15e. Local roads such as Maddalena Rd and Co Hwy A23 trace the edges of the valley, connecting remote ranches and forest access points.
