1981 Map of Sierraville

About this map

Sierraville and the settlement of Randolph sit at the southern edge of the Sierra Valley, serving as gateway points into the timber-heavy landscape of the Tahoe National Forest. By the early 1980s, the area’s economic reliance on the land is evident through the network of logging roads and resource-related infrastructure, including a Radio Facility and several gravel and borrow pits. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Lemon Canyon and Turner Canyon, while the historic Henness Pass and an Old RR Grade mark the traditional transportation corridors through these mountains.
