1955 Map of Echo Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Meyers stands as a focal point of this high-altitude landscape, where the Pioneer Trail and U S Highway 50 meet near the Upper Truckee River. The map details a transition in alpine recreation during the mid-20th century, showing established institutions like the Meyers Sch and Celio Ranch alongside numerous group camps such as Camp Sacramento and the Berkeley Muni Camp. Just to the west, the Desolation Wilderness protects a dense concentration of glacial basins, including Lake of the Woods and Tamarack Lake. Significant infrastructure for travelers and residents is evident at Echo Summit, which features an Aerial Tramway and a maintenance station. The geography is defined by steep granite peaks like Ralston Peak and the dramatic drop of Horsetail Falls into the canyon of the South Fork American River.
