2015 Map of Sierraville

About this map

The high mountain valley of Sierra Valley serves as the focal point for this 2015 survey, where the small communities of Sierraville and Randolph sit at the intersection of early mountain thoroughfares. The landscape transitions from the flat valley floor to the steep, timbered slopes of the Tahoe National Forest, a terrain marked by deep drainages like Lemon Canyon and Rice Canyon. Historical routes and modern infrastructure coexist here, as seen with the Sierraville Dearwater Airport positioned near the legendary thermal waters of Campbell Hot Springs. The southern portion of the map is dominated by significant elevations and water systems, including the Little Truckee River and the high point at Treasure Mtn. Local transport is defined by rugged corridors like Henness Pass Rd and Old Truckee Rd, which have historically connected these isolated Sierra Nevada settlements to larger trade routes.
