1950 Map of Saddle Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Pollock Pines and the surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills are captured here during a period of active timber and mining operations in the mid-century. The landscape is defined by the Michigan-California RR and a network of logging roads connecting camps and mills like Pino Grande and Butcher Corral. This map documents a transitional era for the Eldorado National Forest, where historical sites like the Bullion Bend Historic Marker and Iowa Hill sit alongside active resource management at the Blodgett Experimental Forest. Deep canyons carved by the South Fork American River and Rubicon River dictate the local geography, isolating small settlements and family holdings such as Bacchi Ranch and Morton Ranch. Mining heritage remains visible through numerous claims like the Kenna Mine and Bluebird Mine, while local infrastructure is represented by the Mosquito District School.
