2000 Map of Sattley
USGS Topo · Published 2003About this map
The Sierra Valley edge meets the steep timberlands of the Tahoe National Forest in this millennium-era update of eastern Sierra County. The small community of Sattley sits at the junction where the Donner Scenic Byway enters the valley floor from the west. This landscape is a patchwork of early ranching and logging history, evidenced by the Nichols Mill (Site) and the Sierraville Cemetery on the eastern margin. Higher elevations are marked by seasonal outposts and high-altitude passage points like the Ahart Sheep Camp and the historic Henness Pass route. The drainage patterns of Turner Creek and Bonta Creek define the descent from the mountain peaks toward the wide, flat valley, providing a clear picture of the region's hydraulic and topographic character before modern development intensified.
