1950 Map of Pollock Pines

Settlement patterns in the 1950s are concentrated along the southern corridor near Pollock Pines and Fresh Pond, while the northern reaches remain dominated by the Eldorado National Forest and isolated camps like Lovejoy Camp. For local historians, the presence of the Bullion Bend Historic Marker and family-named locations such as McManus and Van Vleck provides specific points for tracing local lore and land ownership during this era of post-war growth.
