About this map

Shaver Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Sierra Nevada survey, serving as a focal point for recreation and local industry. The map captures a transition in land use, where established mountain settlements like Shaver Lake Heights, Ockenden, and Pineridge sit alongside numerous forest facilities and campgrounds, including Edison Campgrounds and Camp Chawanakee.

Evidence of the area's timber history remains visible through several mill sites, such as Mathews Mill, Prescott Mill, and the Old Bretz Mill. This industrial heritage is further underscored by the presence of the Old RR Grade Bed Rd, tracing former transportation routes through the timberlands. The terrain is marked by significant drainages like Musick Cr and Jose Cr, while named high points such as Burrough Mountain and Mount Stevenson define the eastern and northern horizons.
