1952 Map of Duncan Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Tahoe National Forest landscape in the early 1950s is defined by a dense network of mining operations and fire lookouts scattered across the ridges of the Sierra Nevada. Mining heritage is etched into the terrain through numerous subterranean workings, including the Golden Fleece Tunnel, Union Tunnel, and the Hungry Hollow Tunnel. These industrial sites are often located near steep drainage points like Secret Canyon and Manila Canyon, indicating the heavy reliance on local hydrology for processing and extraction.
