1955 Map of Freel Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Freel Peak and Jobs Sister dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of El Dorado and Alpine counties. This mid-century survey captures a transition point for backcountry travel, centered on the strategic Luther Pass, where early routes connected the Tahoe basin to the West Fork of the Carson River. The map reveals small outposts like Sorensens and Dangberg Camp along the river valley, which served as important markers for those navigating the eastern Sierra. To the north, the terrain drops toward Fountain Place and the headwaters of Trout Creek. Localized industrial activity is evidenced by a lone Shaft located west of Saxon Creek, while the expansive alpine meadows of Big Meadow and Freel Meadows suggest the area's continued importance for summer grazing within the El Dorado National Forest and Toiyabe National Forest.
