1950 Map of Saddle Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Michigan-California Lumber Co RR winds through this rugged Sierra Nevada landscape, illustrating the industrial timber operations central to the region in the mid-twentieth century. Settlement is concentrated in small ranching and lumbering outposts such as Pollock Pines, Quintette, and Lynchburg Hill. The map meticulously tracks the infrastructure of the Eldorado National Forest, where the El Dorado Power House and various gaging stations along the South Fork American River highlight the era's focus on hydroelectric power and water management.
