Here the issue is position drift. The older topos show Moccasin as a point on the railroad itself, one end of a long passing siding. On the other side of the river they show what looks to be a camp of some sort, and there's one aerial from the 1940s which tends to support this. All of that goes away and is replaced by a few houses, and for some reason the name "Moccasin" wanders across the river and eventually labels these houses. I cannot find anything that explains any of this: as soon as the search is restricted to Plumas County, the hits are all either clickbait or tabular data featuring a variety of false hits. At this point I have to think that Moccasin is the siding and not whatever it is on the other side of the river, but lacking any explanation of the older version of the latter I cannot be entirely sure.
