1950 Map of Saddle Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Pollock Pines and the surrounding high country of the Eldorado National Forest define this mid-century survey of the California gold country. The landscape is a network of industrial and agricultural history, featuring legacy sites like the Kenna Mine, Bedrock Mine, and Tiedman Mine alongside the early water infrastructure of the South Fork Canal. Settlement patterns are recorded through family-named landmarks and outposts such as Bacchi Ranch, Connor Cabin, and Morton Ranch. The presence of the Mosquito District School and several dispersed cabins indicates a persistent rural community integrated into the timber and mining terrain. Significant topographic features like Saddle Mtn, Slate Mtn, and the Rubicon River underscore the area's complex drainage and elevation changes that dictated the path of the Michigan Bluff Railroad and the Georgetown Tunnel.
