1979 Map of Ebbetts Pass

About this map

Mining operations and high-altitude water resources dominate this portion of Alpine County, where the borders of the Eldorado National Forest, Toiyabe National Forest, and Stanislaus National Forest converge. The landscape is marked by the legacy of silver extraction, centered around the Silver Mtn (Site) and numerous underground workings like the Lady Franklin Mine, Exchequer Mine, and the Pennsylvania Mine. These sites sit amidst a complex network of peaks and canyons, including Ebbetts Pass and Noble Canyon, which have long served as vital transit corridors through the Sierra Nevada.
