1952 Map of Loon Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Eldorado National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where the granite peaks and glacial basins of the Sierra Nevada meet historic cattle camps and remote outposts. The prominent Loon Lake and the South Fork Rubicon River dominate the northern terrain, while the southern reaches descend toward Big Silver Creek and the early footprint of the Union Valley Res. Scattered throughout this wilderness are legacy ranching and ranger sites like the Van Vleck Ranch, Upper Bassi Ranch, and the Schlein Ranger Sta. High-country landmarks such as Tells Peak and the curious Poison Hole serve as navigational markers across a network of primitive jeep trails. The inclusion of the Landing Strip and remote cabins like Rupley Cabin highlights the area's mid-century utility for both forestry management and backcountry recreation.
