2012 Map of Sierraville

About this map

Sierraville and the neighboring settlement of Randolph anchor this eastern Sierra County landscape, situated where the valley floor meets the rising timber of the Tahoe National Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of mountain drainage, with Cold Stream, Cottonwood Cr, and Onion Cr carving deep paths through Dark Canyon and Rice Canyon. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural and residential pockets near Canyon Ranch to high-elevation points like Treasure Mountain and Harding Point. Public recreation and early aviation are central to the area's character, evidenced by the Sierraville Dearwater Airport and the geothermal waters of Campbell Hot Springs. Modern access follows historical corridors, with Treasure Mountain Rd and Verdi Grade Rd threading through the canyons toward Little Truckee Summit and the Little Truckee River.
