1955 Map of Sierraville

About this map

Sierra Valley and the surrounding high country of the Tahoe National Forest define this mid-century landscape. The map captures a transition in local industry, noting the Winnie Smith Mill (Ruins) and the Nichols Mill (Site), alongside active features like the Antelope Mine and Calpine Airport. Small mountain settlements including Sierraville, Sattley, and Calpine serve as hubs for the area's geography, while scattered sites like McPherrin Camp, Ahart Camp, and Church Camp suggest a history of seasonal use and remote residence.
