1948 Map of Strawberry Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Strawberry Valley and the surrounding timberlands of the Plumas National Forest and Tahoe National Forest define this 1948 landscape. The area is marked by a legacy of resource extraction, shown through sites like the Palace Mine and the Indian Hill Mine. Small settlements and camps such as Eagleville, Brandy City, and Cal-Ida are scattered across a landscape of steep ravines and ridges, including Mooreville Ridge and Peterson Ridge. The hydrology of the region is centered on the North Fork Yuba River and the Yuba River, fed by a complex network of drainages like Slate Creek and Sly Creek. Cultural landmarks such as Rose Ranch and Schwartz Meadow indicate early ranching and habitation among the hills. This survey also records the Lost Creek Reservoir, illustrating the mid-century development of water infrastructure in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
