About this map

Indian Valley and Genesee Valley serve as the primary topographical anchors in this Plumas County landscape, where the settlement of Taylorsville sits at the confluence of several vital watercourses. The drainage of Indian Creek dominates the hydrology, fed by numerous tributaries including Lights Cr, Hough Cr, and Montgomery Cr. The surrounding terrain is defined by prominent peaks and ridges within the Plumas National Forest, most notably Mt Jura, Keddie Peak, and Grizzly Peak.

Evidence of local history and land use is found in labels such as the Shim Flat Cemetery near the eastern settlement of Genesee, and several family-named landmarks like Rhinehart Meadow and Taylor Rock. The road network is well-developed for the region, featuring the Greenville - Genesee Rd and specialized routes like China Grade Rd and Emigrant Rd, which hint at the era of migration and early industry in these mountain valleys.
