1953 Map of Wentworth Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Wentworth Springs and its mineral springs lie at the heart of this high-elevation terrain, marking a historic waypoint between the Tahoe National Forest and Eldorado National Forest. The landscape is defined by the steep canyon of the Rubicon River and a series of high peaks, including Jerrett Peak and McKinstry Peak. For those tracing early industrial or seasonal activity, the map reveals a remote Tungsten Mine and isolated outposts such as Miranda Cabin and Murry Camp. The region's hydrological character is captured through numerous alpine water bodies like Loon Lake, Spider Lake, and the aptly named Hell Hole. A network of historic paths, including the Steamboat Trail and McKinstry Trail, illustrates how this backcountry was navigated before the expansion of modern infrastructure.
