1953 Map of Paradise
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
Paradise and the surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills are captured here during a period of transition in the mid-twentieth century. The landscape is defined by its industrial roots, with the Southern Pacific railroad line threading through the region and numerous mining operations like the Royal Drift Mine and Magalia Mine scattered among the ridges. Large tracts of the Lassen National Forest dominate the northern and eastern portions of the map, while the historical Bidwell Grant Boundary reflects the legacy of early California land holdings near Arroyo Chico.
