1950 Map of Tunnel Hill

About this map

Eldorado National Forest spans the rugged Divide between the Rubicon River and Otter Creek on this 1950s era survey. The landscape is defined by its gold-mining history, marked by a high concentration of claims including the Kenna Mine, Bedrock Mine, and Kenny Mine. Higher elevations are dominated by landmarks like Bald Mtn Lookout and the Peavine Point ridge, while early 20th-century settlement is evidenced by the Edison Cabin and Bacchi Ranch. The eastern portion contains the Blodgett Experimental Forest, reflecting the region's shift toward scientific forestry management. Distinctive landscape features such as Kentucky Flat and Buckeye Flat offer a look at the varied topography used by early residents before the mid-century revisions added infrastructure near Quintette.
