About this map

Plumas National Forest dominates this mid-1990s terrain, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal grazing and rugged water drainages. The map records several specific historical livestock and timber-related sites, including the Stone Dairy Cabin and Ridenour Barn in the northeast, while Jenkins Sheep Camp and Camp 13 appear further south. These named camps and structures reflect a long history of high-country ranching and land use in the northern Sierra Nevada.

The topography is deeply incised by Ross Canyon and McClellan Canyon, which feed into the extensive Squaw Valley floor. In the lower reaches of the sheet, the Dixie Mountain State Game Refuge covers the terrain east of McReynolds Valley. Water sources are vital here, with numerous points like Squaw Valley Spring and Jenkins Springs supporting the area's transition from the heights of Squaw Valley Peak down to the established Doyle Crossing at Last Chance Creek.
