1992 Map of Carson Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Carson Pass serves as the central focal point of this high-altitude landscape, where the Snowshoe Thompson & Kit Carson (Historical Monuments) commemorate the early pioneers who traversed this Sierra Nevada crossing. The map reveals a legacy of resource extraction through several documented sites, including the Alpine Mine, Alhambra Mine, and Burnside Mine scattered near the peaks. High mountain water management is evident at the Upper Blue Lake and its Boat Ramp, alongside the natural basins of Red Lake and Winnemucca Lake. This 1990s revision details a vast recreational network where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the Mokelumne Wilderness. The drainage patterns of the West Fork Carson River connect the expansive grazing and meadow lands of Hope Valley and Faith Valley.
