About this map

High Rolls and Mountain Park occupy the high ground of the Sacramento Mountains, where complex topography is marked by the winding path of the Old Railroad Grade. This transit corridor, appearing alongside newer roads, reflects the historical movement of timber and passengers through the steep Fresnal Canyon and Toboggan Canyon. The landscape is a network of canyons and peaks, with local water sources like Maruche Spring and La Luz Spring providing the necessary points for settlement and agriculture within the Lincoln National Forest.

Resource extraction and local infrastructure are evident in the presence of the Courtney Mine, scattered Prospects, and various Gravel Pit locations. Small community markers, including a Sch and Cem, suggest the social fabric of these mountain enclaves in the early 1980s. The map also details early recreational and communication features, from the Slide Campground near Deerhead Canyon to the Radio Tower overlooking the settlement at Haile.
