About this map

The Bear River carves the southern boundary of this Sierra Nevada foothills landscape, separating Nevada and Placer counties. The settlement of Wolf sits at the eastern edge of the quadrangle, while Austin Flat lies to the west, connected by a network of rural roads such as Mcourtney Rd and Garden Bar Rd. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks including Bald Mtn, Iron Mtn, and Sugar Loaf Mtn.

A complex irrigation and water management system is visible through features like Redinger Ditch, Cole Ditch, and Wolf Ditch, which traverse the hillsides alongside numerous creeks and ravines. These ditches reflect the long-standing agricultural and mining heritage of the region, where water was diverted from sources like Dry Cr and Little Wolf Cr to support local homesteads and industry. Recreational paths such as the Fairy Falls Trail navigate the northern slopes, providing access to the rugged elevations.
