1955 Map of Martis Peak

About this map

Martis Valley and the high ridges of the Tahoe Nat Forest define this landscape along the California and Nevada border. The Southern Pacific railroad follows the narrow corridor of the Truckee River as it cuts through the north, passing the Union Mills (Sta) site. High-altitude meadows like Klondike Meadow and Monte Carlo Meadows are scattered across the drainage basins of Martis Creek and Gray Creek, reflecting the area's history of seasonal grazing and timber harvesting.
