1955 Map of Martis Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Truckee River corridors and the high Sierra elevations of the Tahoe National Forest dominate this mid-century landscape. The map captures a transition in land use, from industrial history at the Union Mills (Site) near Union Valley to the mid-1950s ranching and forestry operations. Early regional settlement is represented by Hirschdale and the Old Joerger Ranch, while the Brockway Guard Sta and a Lookout atop Martis Peak indicate the era's fire management infrastructure.
