1954 Map of Mt. Tom

About this map

High-altitude extraction and rugged Sierra Nevada terrain define this mid-century survey of the eastern slopes. The industrial activity is concentrated heavily around Scheelite and the Pine Creek Mine, where an extensive network of tunnels including the Pine Creek Mine-Zero Adit and the Pine Creek Tungsten Mill highlights the region's importance during the post-war mining boom. To the east, the landscape drops into the lower elevations of Round Valley, where the community life of Rovana and the Round Valley School contrasts with the remote work sites of the Adamson Mine and Brownstone Mine.
