2012 Map of Sattley

About this map

Sattley stands as a focal point in this 2012 survey of the Sierra Nevada landscape, where the high mountain terrain is etched with historical routes and seasonal camps. The map documents the intricate drainage systems of Haypress Cr and Hamlin Cr, which flow through deep landforms like Wild Bill Canyon and Dark Canyon. Cultural landmarks such as the Sierraville Cem and Nichols Mill anchor the eastern slopes, while the western portion is dominated by the high-elevation crossing at Yuba Pass. Significant for genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies isolated locations like Franklin Cabin, Ahart Camp, and French Meadow, which speak to the area's legacy of ranching, timber, and transit through the Sierras. The presence of Henness Pass and the Lake of The Woods further illustrates the complex geography of this high-country corridor.
