1950 Map of Riverton

About this map

The American River South Fork carves through the heart of this mid-century mountain landscape, anchored by the riverside settlements of Riverton and White Hall. These outposts reflect the region's historical reliance on the river corridor for transit and small-scale industry, evidenced by the nearby Big Bend Sch and a Sawmill. The ruggedness of the Eldorado National Forest is punctuated by family-named landmarks and homestead sites such as McConnel Place, Potts Cabin, and Short Place, suggesting a legacy of seasonal residency and forest management.
