About this map

The Bear River defines the southern reaches of this landscape, marking the boundary between Nevada and Placer counties. Near the river, the settlement of Garden Bar sits at the foot of Bald Rock Mountain, while the Hannaman Trail and Emigrant Road provide a look at the historical movement through the foothills. Further north, the settlement of Wolf and the Pine Hill Mine indicate the area's agricultural and mineral heritage.

The western portion of the map is dominated by the Spenceville Wildlife and Recreation Area, characterized by a series of prominent peaks including Rock Mountain and Bushy Mountain. Water management is a visible priority here, seen in the path of the Combie Aqueduct Phase II and the course of Wolf Creek as it winds toward the river. The network of local roads like Mcourtney Road and Garden Bar Road connects these scattered foothill features.
