1981 Map of Sierra City

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Gold mining history dominates this 1981 survey of the North Fork Yuba River canyon, where the steep terrain is marked by dozens of lode and placer operations. The community of Sierra City and the nearby settlement of Loganville serve as the primary hubs along the river, surrounded by legacy sites like the Sierra Buttes Mine and Young America Mine. Evidence of early alpine transport and ranching is seen at Butcher Ranch Meadow and Robinson Cow Camp, while the Henness Pass Road traces a historic immigrant and supply route through the southern portion of the quadrangle.
