1953 Map of Royal Gorge

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Royal Gorge carves a deep path through this mid-century survey of the Tahoe National Forest, where the North Fork American River meets a landscape defined by its mining heritage. The map documents numerous mining sites scattered across the high terrain, including the Lost Emigrant Mine, Placer Queen Mine, and several prospects situated near Snow Mountain. These operations were supported by a network of trails, such as the Sailor Flat Trail, and primitive roads that bypassed steep drainages like Wildcat Canyon and Sailor Canyon.
