1979 Map of Caples Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Kirkwood sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape, where the boundaries of El Dorado, Amador, and Alpine counties converge within the El Dorado National Forest. The map documents a transition in land use, showing the emerging infrastructure of the Kirkwood Meadows area alongside deep historical traces of the westward migration. The Old Emigrant Trail Historical Marker near the northern shore of Caples Lake identifies the path of early pioneers, while the Lost Cabin Mine tucked away near Woods Creek hints at the region's prospecting past.
