1953 Map of Bunker Hill

About this map

The Middle Fork American River and Rubicon River drainages define this high-altitude landscape in the Sierra Nevada. This 1973 photorevision documents a critical era of hydroelectric development, most notably the expansion of the French Meadows Reservoir and Hell Hole Reservoir. The inclusion of the L. Anderson Dam and specific spillway elevations reflects the mid-century engineering that transformed these river canyons.
