1994 Map of Soapstone Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

The Western Pacific RR winds through the steep canyons of the North Fork Feather River in this detailed 1990s revision. The terrain is a complex network of industrial mining history and forestry management, featuring numerous named claims like the Silver Star Mine and Lucky Laddie Mine. The map highlights the transition of remote outposts, marking the former location of Merrimac (Site) and its Closed Cem, alongside seasonal infrastructure such as a Snow Hut and a Snow Survey station. Landmark peaks including Grizzly Dome and Elephant Butte overlook technical feats like the Grizzly Dome Tunnel. This survey documents a landscape balancing active resource extraction at various Quarry sites with the preservation of Plumas National Forest, providing a precise look at the Sierra Nevada's mid-elevation backcountry during the late 20th century.
