1951 Map of Peddler Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Eldorado National Forest dominates the landscape of the Sierra Nevada foothills in this 1951 study, showing a region defined by high ridges and timber industry infrastructure. The survey was conducted just as the Lower Bear River Reservoir was beginning to shape the local hydrology, with dashed lines indicating the projected water levels. Resource extraction and transit are central to the map's character, evidenced by the Caldor Logging Road traversing the northern ridges and the presence of the Tiger Mine near Greilich Camp. Along the southern boundary between El Dorado and Amador counties, the Lumberyard Ranger Station and Hams Station serve as primary human outposts. The terrain is marked by a series of prominent elevations, including Plummer Ridge and Beaver Ridge, which channel the Middle Fork Cosumnes River and its numerous tributaries such as Shingle Mill Creek.
