1955 Map of Boca

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Boca Reservoir and the winding Truckee River anchor this mid-century survey of the high Sierra Nevada borderlands. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Southern Pacific railroad and the critical management of water through the Boca Dam and various flumes. Small settlements and sidings like Boca, Floriston, Iceland, and Hinton trace the rail line as it follows the river canyon through the Tahoe National Forest. The presence of the Farad Powerhouse and multiple gaging stations indicates the region's importance for power generation and water control during the 1950s.
