1953 Map of Royal Gorge

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The North Fork American River carves through the dramatic Royal Gorge, anchoring a landscape shaped by mining and wilderness recreation. This mid-century survey captures the rugged interior of the Tahoe National Forest, where a network of remote mining operations once sought fortune along the canyon walls. Notable sites include the Lost Emigrant Mine, Walker Mine, and the Placer Queen Mine, alongside several camps and springs.
