1955 Map of Freel Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Freel Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape of the central Sierra Nevada, marking the rugged divide between the Eldorado National Forest and Toiyabe National Forest. The map documents a critical transition point for travelers and timber interests, centered on the crossing at Luther Pass. While much of the terrain is defined by dramatic peaks like Jobs Sister and Waterhouse Peak, the lower elevations reveal pockets of human activity and seasonal settlement. The West Fork Carson River carves a path through the southeastern corner, where Sorensens and camps such as Dangberg Camp and Kit Carson Campground provided footholds for travelers. Faded industry is noted by a solitary Shaft located west of Tucker Flat, hinting at the mineral prospecting that once peppered these high meadows and ridges.
