1952 Map of Kyburz

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Kyburz sits along the South Fork American River in this mid-century topographic survey of the Eldorado National Forest. The map documents a landscape transitioning toward recreational use while maintaining its remote ranching and forestry roots. Purple revisions from 1973 highlight the significant impact of the Ice House Reservoir, which altered the drainage of the South Fork Silver Creek. Evidence of early settlement and land use is found at Jones Place, Wilson Ranch, and the Windmiller Cabin, while local education is represented by the Silver Fork School near the river. Topographic landmarks like Sugarloaf and Eagle Rock overlook a network of seasonal watercourses, including Peavine Creek and Lyons Creek, alongside infrastructure like the Windmiller Trail and various gaging stations used for water management.
