2018 Map of Storrie

About this map

The North Fork Feather River carves a deep canyon through this portion of the northern Sierra Nevada, serving as the primary corridor for both the railroad and several small riverside settlements. This 2018 survey documents the small communities and infrastructure clinging to the steep slopes, including Storrie, Tobin, and Merlin. The rugged landscape is divided between the Lassen National Forest to the northwest and the Plumas National Forest to the southeast, with high-elevation features like Chambers Peak and Elephant Butte defining the skyline. For those interested in recreation and mountain geography, the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the northeastern corner near Belden Ravine, while numerous small lakes like Campbell Lake and Grassy Lake occupy the higher benches above the river canyon. The map reveals the intricate engineering required to navigate this terrain, highlighted by the presence of Tunnel 17 and a network of Forest Service spurs.
