1952 Map of Westville

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Tahoe National Forest terrain dominates this 1950s study of Placer County, where the gold-mining heritage of the Sierra Nevada is etched into every canyon. The map documents an extensive network of mining operations, from the American Eagle Mine and Lost Camp Mine in the north to the Herman Mine and several tunnels—Alameda Tunnel, Cape Horn Tunnel, and Mountain Gate Tunnel—near the Forest Hill Divide. The transition from active industry to history is evident at the Maxwell Sawmill and the former sites of Damascus and Forks House.
