The N Yuba River and its labyrinthine drainage system define this portion of the Sierra Nevada, where mid-century water management projects like Sly Creek Reservoir and New Bullards Bar Reservoir have altered the landscape. Historically significant settlements such as Strawberry Valley and Brandy City are documented alongside numerous smaller locales including Eagleville and North Star. The map preserves the nomenclature of the region's mining and ranching heritage, seen in labels for Rose Ranch, Poverty Hill, and the Strawberry Valley Cem. A complex network of ravines and bars, such as Cut Eye Fosters Bar and Slate Range Bar, indicates the deep human and geological history of the river canyons. This 2012 edition provides an exacting look at the forest service roads and trails that weave through the ridges, including the Grizzly Trl and Huron Trl.
