About this map

The Feather River North Fork carves a dramatic corridor through the heart of the Lassen National Forest and Plumas National Forest in this late 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by its hydroelectric infrastructure and the engineering of the Western Pacific Railroad, which follows the river's bend past small settlements like Storrie and Tobin. Significant industrial footprints are visible at the Rock Creek Powerhouse and Bucks Creek Powerhouse, connected by complex systems of aqueducts, penstocks, and an Incline Railway.

High above the river canyon, the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the eastern ridges near Elephant Butte and Camp Rodgers Saddle. This map documents a period of managed wilderness where recreation and resource extraction meet, evidenced by the presence of the Injun Jim Sch and various forestry features like the Borrow Pit and Quarry. Named flats such as Reese Flat and Murphy Flat offer rare level ground among the steep peaks of Chambers Peak and Sugar Loaf Mtn.
