1951 Map of Mt. Fillmore

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Gold mining operations and high-elevation settlements define this section of the Sierra Nevada, situated at the boundary of Plumas National Forest and Tahoe National Forest. The map documents a landscape heavily influenced by the hydraulic and hard-rock mining era, featuring notable sites such as Poker Flat and the Potosi (Site). Steep drainages like Canyon Creek and Slate Creek separate prominent peaks, including Mt Fillmore and Saddleback Mtn, while a network of mines like the California Mine and Bunker Hill Mine are scattered across the slopes.
