1901 Map of Big Trees

USGS Topo · Published 1914

About this map

The Mokelumne River and its various forks carve through this section of the Sierra Nevada, defining a landscape of deep canyons and timber-rich ridges at the turn of the century. This survey documents the region's transition from the gold-rush era to an economy centered on lumber and early tourism, particularly around the Calaveras Big Trees. The map captures several iconic mining-era settlements including Columbia, Murphy, and Vallecito, which served as hubs for the surrounding claims and camps.
