1904 Map of Kaiser

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Chawanakee Rancheria and the early timber operations of the Sierra Nevada foothills define the landscape of this 1901–1902 survey. The map details a rugged industrial frontier before the expansion of modern reservoirs, focused instead on the series of hydroelectric stations at Power House No. 1 through Power House No. 4 and the extensive system of flumes and irrigation lines required to harness the region's water. Timber and mineral extraction are evident through numerous family-named operations like Peckinpah Mill, Moore Mill, and Littlefield Mill, alongside the Kaiser Creek Diggings. Higher elevations are characterized by a vast network of grazing meadows and early forestry outposts such as Daulton Ranger Station, while the lower slopes reveal the primary settlements at Auberry and Tollhouse. Significant natural landmarks including the Mc Kinley Grove (Big Trees) are documented just as the region began its transition toward organized resource management.
