1979 Map of Caples Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Caples Lake and Silver Lake anchor this high-elevation landscape at the intersection of Alpine, Amador, and El Dorado counties. By the late 1970s, the area had developed into a significant recreation and ski destination, centered around the Kirkwood meadows and the slopes of Thimble Peak. The map documents the intricate water management of the era, including underwater contours provided by Pacific Gas and Electric Company for the reservoirs and several gaging stations.
