1952 Map of Spring Garden

About this map

The Western Pacific railroad carves a winding path through this high-altitude landscape of the northern Sierra Nevada, following the contours of Greenhorn Creek and Estray Creek. At the base of Grizzly Ridge, the small settlement of Spring Garden serves as a vital point along the rail line, complete with a water tank for steam-era operations. Further northwest along the tracks lies Massack, where a Sawmill points to the timber industry that sustained these mountain communities during the early 1950s.
