1955 Map of Pyramid Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Strawberry and the riverside communities of Sciots Camp and Camp Cody (BSA) anchor the southern portion of this Sierra Nevada landscape, where the South Fork of the American River cuts through the Eldorado National Forest. The map documents a significant high-altitude lake system, notably the expansive Lake Aloha and the cluster of alpine waters in the Desolation Wilderness like Heather Lake and Lake Le Conte. Evidence of early land use and seasonal habitation appears in the scattered flats and camps, such as Mortimer Flat, Fourth of July Flat, and the historical Lyons (Site). The terrain transitions from these lower seasonal outposts to the prominent heights of Pyramid Pk and Mt Price. Transportation is marked by established routes and primitive paths including the Windmiller Trail and various unnamed jeep trails, illustrating how access was managed for both forest administration at the Pyramid Guard Sta and public recreation at the Pyramid Campground and Wrights Lake areas.
