1955 Map of Soda Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor defines the development and transport character of this high-elevation Sierra Nevada pass, connecting the settlements of Soda Springs, Kingvale, and Troy. The map documents the intricate water management and recreational landscape within the Tahoe National Forest, where numerous natural and man-made water bodies like Lake Sterling, Kidd Lake, and the Cascade Lakes cluster around the upper reaches of the South Yuba River. Significant mid-century infrastructure is evident through the presence of the Tamarack Substation, an Airway Beacon, and the Donner Trail Sch near the riverbanks.
