1951 Map of Peddler Hill

About this map

The Eldorado National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of El Dorado and Amador counties. During the mid-century, this area served as a focal point for timber management and early recreational development, evidenced by the Lumberyard Ranger Station and the Ski Lodge near Peddler Hill. The map documents the resource-driven history of the region, from the Tiger Mine and various prospects to the infrastructure of the Lower Bear River Reservoir.
