1981 Map of Webber Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Webber Peak and the high elevations of the Tahoe National Forest dominate this landscape, where the boundary between Sierra County and Nevada County cuts through a network of alpine lakes and meadows. The area serves as a critical hydrologic crossroads, with the Little Truckee River and Perazzo Creek draining the eastern slopes while the headwaters of the Fordyce Lake system sit to the southwest. Human influence in this high-altitude terrain is marked by extractive history and traditional transit routes, including the Anderson Mine near the lake shores and the historic corridor of Henness Pass. Modern recreation and preservation are represented by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it winds across the ridges, providing a clear view of how the land transitioned from a resource-driven frontier to a protected recreational wilderness by the early 1980s.
