USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The ridge-and-canyon landscape of the Sierra Nevada foothills comes into sharp focus through the mining and timber settlements of the early 1950s. Paradise sits atop a broad plateau, while the Southern Pacific rail line winds north toward the timber hub of Stirling City. The map documents a transition in land use, noting established communities alongside historical locations like Helltown (Site) and Fourteenmile House (Site).
