1955 Map of Norden

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Donner Pass serves as the focal point for this survey of the Sierra Nevada crest, captured just as the winter recreation economy was maturing alongside traditional transit corridors. The Southern Pacific railroad winds through the complex topography, passing through numerous snowsheds and tunnels near the settlement of Norden. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the early development of Sugar Bowl, featuring an Aerial Tramway and Ski Lifts on the slopes of Mt Disney and Mt Lincoln.
