1950 Map of Pollock Pines

About this map

The South Fork American River carves a deep path through the heart of this terrain, anchoring a landscape where industrial utility and timber history intersect within the Eldorado National Forest. Near the southern boundary, the settlement of Pollock Pines serves as a focal point, supported by vital infrastructure like the El Dorado Power House, a Forebay, and the Gaging Sta along the river. The map details a complex system of resource management and transport, from the Camino Reservoir to the irrigation network near Fresh Pond.
