1994 Map of Squaw Valley Peak

About this map

Plumas National Forest dominates this mid-1990s landscape, characterized by the winding drainage of Squaw Queen Creek and the high elevation of Squaw Valley Peak. The map reveals a history of seasonal pastoral activity and mountain ranching, evidenced by isolated structures such as the Stone Dairy Cabin and Ridenour Barn. Near the southern boundary, the Dixie Mountain State Game Refuge indicates a commitment to wildlife preservation in the high country. Multiple water sources, including Jenkins Springs and Squaw Valley Spring, suggest the importance of reliable water in this terrain for livestock management at sites like Jenkins Sheep Camp. The presence of Camp 13 and various unnamed corrals throughout McCellan Canyon and Siegfried Canyon highlights the area's ongoing role in the regional forest-and-range economy before the turn of the twenty-first century.
