1955 Map of Rockbound Valley
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Eldorado National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape where the Rubicon River carves through the granitic heart of the Sierra Nevada. The 1955 survey documents a wilderness primarily characterized by a dense network of glacial lakes and technical alpine passes. Human activity is concentrated around the Univ Calif Cow Camp and several designated flats like Camper Flat and Willow Flat. Notable water bodies such as Rockbound Lake, Lake Aloha, and the remote Lake Schmidell provide a detailed view of the region's hydrography before modern recreational intensity changed the backcountry. The inclusion of the Red Peak Trail and various unnamed paths illustrates the historical access routes used by early forest rangers and hikers moving between summits like Mcconnell Peak and Dicks Peak.
