1950 Map of Strawberry Valley

About this map

The North Fork Yuba River and Slate Creek define this mid-century landscape at the junction of the Plumas National Forest and Tahoe National Forest. The map documents a period of transition for the Sierra Nevada gold country, showing the legacy of hydraulic and hard-rock mining alongside established settlements. High-elevation ridges like Mooreville Ridge and Harrison Ridge separate deep ravines and river bars, including the curiously named Cut Eye Fosters Bar and Shenanigan Flat. Local history is anchored by Strawberry Valley and Brandy City, while evidence of the region’s primary industry remains visible through sites like the Palace Mine and Poverty Hill Mine. Water management is represented by the Lost Creek Reservoir, supporting the various camps and small communities such as Eagleville and the Buckeye site that dot the rugged terrain.
