About this map

Merrimac and Buckeye anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, where the Oroville-Quincy Hwy winds through the high terrain. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Little N Fork of Middle Fork Feather River and numerous drainages like Haphazard Cr and French Hotel Cr. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks such as Grizzly Dome, which features the Grizzly Dome Tunnel, and the broad expanse of Walker Plains.

Remote outposts and clearings like Four Trees, Palmetto, and Kister point to the area's history of forest management and early settlement. Seasonal and recreational activity is evident at Rogers Cow Camp, Elks Retreat, and the Daniel Zink Campground. The map reveals a complex system of forestry roads, including Plains Rd and Merrimac Rd, which provide access to the ridges and basins of the Plumas National Forest region.
