1951 Map of Old Iron Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1996

About this map

Industrial and pioneer history converge along Iron Mountain Ridge within the Eldorado National Forest. This terrain is characterized by a significant legacy of timber and mineral extraction, evidenced by multiple historical milling locations such as the Plum Creek Mill Site, Girard Mill Site, and Tuman Mill Site. These sites, alongside the Griminger Gold Springs and Robert Lee Mine, illustrate the resource-driven settlement patterns of the Sierra Nevada foothills. Smaller locales like Bryants and Bonetti are positioned near the network of drainages that feed into the North Fork Cosumnes River and the Steely Fork Cosumnes River. The map also details early ranching and livestock infrastructure at Duncan Corral and family-named landmarks like Matulich Meadow, which reflect the localized land use during the mid-20th century.
