1952 Map of Camino

About this map

Fruit Ridge and Snow Ridge define the steep topography of this Sierra Nevada foothills region, where the timber and mining industries left a distinct mark on the mid-century landscape. The settlement of Camino serves as a central hub, anchored by the Camino Union School and a significant Lumber Mill. This area preserves the transition from early pioneer history to modern forestry research, evidenced by the presence of the Institute of Forest Genetics and the Old Fort Jim Historical Marker near the historic Placer Mine workings.
