1949 Map of Lake Combie

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Lake Combie and the Bear River serve as the focal points for this late-1940s landscape on the border of Nevada and Placer counties. The map captures a moment of mid-century rural development and historical memory, most notably tracing the Probable Route of Donner Party as it moves across the undulating terrain between Wolf Creek and the river. Settlement patterns are concentrated at crossroads and small community clusters such as Higgins Corner, Meadow Vista, and Cherry Creek Acres, while the presence of the Stockton Hill Mine and Limekiln Sch points to the area's industrial and educational foundations.
