1985 Map of Upham

About this map

The At&SF railroad corridor anchors this arid stretch of Sierra County, providing a vital north-south transportation link through the high desert. The map captures small rural outposts like Aleman and Upham that grew along the rail line, surrounded by a complex network of seasonal drainages such as South Fork Putman Draw, Yoast Draw, and Aleman Draw. The terrain is defined by its water management features, including several livestock tanks like Rabbit Tank, Miller Tank, and Highline Tank, which are essential for ranching in this environment.
