1952 Map of Duncan Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Whisky Hill and the surrounding gold-bearing ridges dominate this mid-century survey of the Tahoe National Forest high country. The landscape is a complex network of hydraulic mining infrastructure and subterranean workings, evidenced by the Iowa Hill Ditch winding across the slopes and several named bores such as Hogsback Tunnel and Golden Fleece Tunnel. Mining operations are scattered throughout the drainages, with the American Hill Mine and Macedon Mine marking areas of significant historical extraction.
