1981 Map of Hobart Mills

About this map

The settlement of Hobart Mills anchors this landscape within the Tahoe National Forest, documenting a region defined by its timber and water resources during the late 20th century. Industrial history is visible in the identification of the Old Smith Mill (Site) and the Winnie Smith Mill (Site), marking the locations of former milling operations. The map details a complex hydrological network, including the Little Truckee River and Sagehen Creek, which feed into the significant impoundments of Stampede Reservoir and Prosser Creek Reservoir. These reservoirs, managed by the Bureau of Reclamation, are flanked by public recreation sites like Lakeside Campground and Prosser Campground. Research activity is noted at the Univ of Calif Wildlife Exper Sta near the Sagehen Hills, while the inclusion of sites like Woodchoppers Spring and Kyburz Flat provides specific points of interest for local history and genealogy research.
