LING PRINA PAL STAGE ROADS —--~7 ENIGRANT 2OADS Map showing portions of Nevada and Sierra counties as they were in June 1860, when Rev. Thomas Starr King lectured at Nevada City for the Nevada Library Association. The heavy broken line shows where he and Charles Marsh went to view the peaks of the Sierra Nevada. They followed a route that approximates today’s Highway 20, stopping first at a point near the Five Mile House, and later at an overlook somewhere south of Washington, Alpha and ~ Omega. The road was one of the alternate emigrant routes to Nevada City, and was known in the 1860s as “the Washington Road.” Included on the map are some of the places mentioned by Starr King in his letters to Boston.
