1977 Map of Squaw Valley Peak

About this map

Plumas National Forest serves as the backdrop for this late 1970s survey, where high ridges and steep canyons dictate the layout of seasonal mountain operations. The presence of Stone Dairy Cabin, Jenkins Sheep Camp, and Ridenour Barn points to a landscape historically utilized for livestock grazing and summer range management. These scattered structures are linked by an Old Railroad Grade and various jeep trails, reflecting the legacy of early timber extraction or mountain transport in the region near Squaw Valley Peak. In the southern portion of the sheet, the State Game Refuge 1-P and the drainages of Squaw Queen Creek define a protected wilderness character. The transition from industrial infrastructure like Camp 13 to conservation areas illustrates the shifting priorities of the Plumas County highlands during this era.
