USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The high Sierra Nevada crest at Donner Pass is captured here during the mid-1950s, a landscape defined by its critical transportation and recreation infrastructure. The Southern Pacific railroad dominates the terrain, featuring extensive Snowsheds and a Tunnel to navigate the heavy mountain snows. Near the settlement of Norden, the presence of an Aerial Tramway, Sugar Bowl, and peaks like Mt Disney and Mount Judah highlight the area's development into a premier winter sports destination.
