1950 Map of Saddle Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Eldorado National Forest defines the topography of this mid-century survey, where the deep drainages of the North Fork American River and South Fork American River carve through the Sierra Nevada foothills. The landscape is a complex network of resource extraction and early mountain settlement, visible in the numerous mining operations such as the Kenna Mine and Pigeon Roost Mine. Evidence of early hydraulic engineering is everywhere, with a labyrinth of ditches, flumes, and pipelines feeding locations like the Surge Tank and various gaging stations.
