1901 Map of Big Trees

About this map

Giant sequoia groves and Sierra Nevada gold camps define this landscape surveyed in the early 1890s. The map highlights the renowned Calaveras Grove and the Calaveras Big Trees South Grove, areas that were already becoming famous for their massive timber. The region's mining heritage is evident near the southern border, where established camps like Columbia and Springfield sit near active operations such as the Riverside Mine and Keltz Mine.
