1998 Map of Lake Combie

About this map

The Nevada Co Placer Co line bisects this landscape, where the Bear River flows into Combie Lake and the Van Giesen Dam. The map documents a blend of mid-century residential expansion and gold-rush era residue, from the planned community surrounding Lake of the Pines to the Stockton Hill Mine. This transition is particularly visible near Higgins Corner and Magnolia, where historical water systems like the Combie Aqueduct and Wolf Creek continue to shape the terrain.
