About this map

Sattley and the surrounding Sierra Valley highlands are documented in this 2015 study, showcasing a landscape where high-altitude meadows meet the dense timber of the Tahoe National Forest. The geography is defined by a series of significant mountain passages, including Yuba Pass and the historic Henness Pass, which have long served as vital corridors through the Sierra Nevada. These routes connect remote settlements like Lincoln Valley and Randolph Hill to the wider region.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Berry Cr and Hamlin Cr draining the steep canyons that drop toward the valley floor. To the south, high-elevation features like Coburn Lake and Lake of the Woods provide notable landmarks for backcountry navigation. The eastern edge of the map includes the Sierraville Cemetery, a key site for genealogical research near the junction of Cemetery Rd and W Willow St.
