1951 Map of Stump Spring

About this map

Eldorado National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in the Sierra Nevada, characterized by an economy transitioning from early timber extraction to recreation and forest management. Multiple industrial vestiges are visible, including the Plum Creek Mill Site, Girard Mill Site, and Tuman Mill Site, which highlight the importance of the local lumber industry. The infrastructure of this era is further evidenced by a Dismantled Railroad near the Steely Fork Cosumnes River and the winding Silver Lake Road. Mining history is represented by the Robert Lee Mine and Twin Pines Mine tucked into the canyons. Small settlements and mountain outposts like Hazel, Griminger, and Bryants provide historical reference points for genealogists tracking early twentieth-century residency. Significant water sources and landmarks, such as Stump Spring and Capps Crossing, served as essential hubs for travelers and loggers navigating the ridges of Iron Mountain Ridge.
