1955 Map of Loyalton

About this map

The Sierra Valley floor meets the heavily timbered slopes of the Tahoe National Forest and Toiyabe National Forest in this mid-century survey of the California-Nevada borderlands. The city of Loyalton serves as the primary hub, where the Western Pacific railroad tracks pass near a local hospital and sawmill, reflecting the region’s historical reliance on timber and transit. Further into the mountains, the landscape is dotted with isolated outposts like Staverville and working sites such as Old Fish Farm, Balla Ranch, and Wheelers Sheep Camp.
