1953 Map of Bunker Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Tahoe National Forest and Eldorado National Forest meet at the Placer and El Dorado county line in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the deep drainage of the Middle Fork American River and the Rubicon River, which converge in a network of steep canyons and high mountain meadows. Human presence is concentrated in seasonal camps and administrative outposts like the French Meadows Guard Station and McGuire Mine. The area's legacy of high-country ranching and timber management is visible in family-named landmarks such as Dobbas Cow Camp, Lawyer Cow Camp, and Jacobsen Meadow. Primitive transportation routes, including the Red Star Game Refuge Jeep Trail, provide access to remote points like Lower Hell Hole and Bunker Hill before the modern dam systems significantly altered these river valleys.
