1951 Map of Leek Spring Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Eldorado National Forest dominates this mid-century topographic study, revealing a high-altitude landscape defined by the drainage systems of two major river basins. The northern reach is carved by the Silver Fork American River and its steep tributaries like Screech Owl Canyon, while the southern portion is shaped by the headwaters of the North Fork Cosumnes River and its middle and south forks. This area was primarily a site of resource management and fire surveillance, anchored by the Lookout at Leek Spring Hill. Scattered settlements and named points like Pilliken, Morrison, and the curiously named Buckskin Joe Spring suggest a history of seasonal camps and forest service outposts. The prominent Plummer Ridge and Baltic Ridge provide the primary geographic framework, separating the various creek systems including Mill Creek and Alder Creek.
