1953 Map of Granite Chief

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The North Fork American River carves a dramatic path through the center of this high Sierra Nevada landscape, notably through the steep Royal Gorge. This mid-century survey captures a transitional wilderness era where old mining claims and seasonal livestock camps represent the primary human footprint. Historic prospecting is evidenced by the Trinidad Mine, Walker Mine, and the aptly named Lost Emigrant Mine near the ridge.
