1952 Map of Sly Park

About this map

Jenkinson Lake and the surrounding Eldorado National Forest dominate this mid-century landscape, where industrial logging and mining operations define the rugged terrain. The map records a complex network of water management features, including the Sly Park Dam, the Crawford Ditch, and a pipe line labeled as under construction, illustrating the region's evolving infrastructure. Mining heritage is prominent throughout the Sturdevant Ridge and Baltic Ridge areas, with sites such as the Hazel Creek Mine, Blue Gouge Mine, and Cosumnes Mine clearly marked.
