1955 Map of Norden

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Donner Pass stands as the central pivot of this Sierra Nevada landscape, where the historic transit corridor of the Southern Pacific railroad traverses the crest through a complex system of snowsheds and a Railroad Tunnel. The map details a high-altitude wilderness at the junction of Nevada and Placer counties, revealing the early development of winter recreation at Sugar Bowl and the Norden area. Settlement is sparse and focused on transit and forestry, evidenced by the Old Stanford Wood Camp (Site) and the isolated community of The Cedars.
