Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Sagebrush War (1850s-1860s) was an armed conflict between the California county of Plumas and the now-defunct Nevada County of Roop over the jurisdiction of Honey Lake Valley and Susanville, California. The boundary conflict was the result of John C. Fremont's selection in 1850 of the 120th Meridian for California's eastern boundary. Charles Aiken's thesis "Sagebrush War: The California-Nevada Boundary Dispute on the 120th Meridian" explores the 14 years (1849-1863) when it was unclear whether the region of the Northeastern California fell under the jurisdiction of Nevada. The author describes the establishment of California's eastern boundary and its acceptance by the inhabitants of the Honey Lake Valley, the only inhabited area in the region at that time.
