Hi – I recently found your PDF map of the Placer County Overland Emigrant Trail. The map cuts off at Lake Valley Res. Do you have a copy that proceeds through Emigrant Gap (town)? I am trying to identify if Emigrant Gap was on one of the Emigrant Trails (I am pretty sure that the Donner Snowshoe Party came through EG but I have also heard that there was a route through Emigrant Gap to Blue Canyon and beyond prior to the Dutch Flat Donner Lake Wagon Road.
I have checked with the CPRR Historical Group and plan to go to Bancroft Library in Berkeley – but was hoping your map had this information.
My email – jguida@pacbell.net
Hi Carol,
I will see what I can find from our contact at Placer County parks. Stay tuned!
