1951 Map of Alleghany
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
Alleghany serves as the focal point of this mountainous Sierra Nevada landscape, surrounded by a dense network of quartz and placer gold claims. The concentration of mining activity is particularly high along the Pliocene Ridge and the drainages of Kanaka Creek, where the famous Sixteen To One Mine and the Gold Crown Mine operated. This area reflects a mid-century period when many primary operations were transitioning to inactive status, yet the physical infrastructure of the era remains clearly documented, from the Lookout Cherry Hill to various ranch sites like Hagerty Ranch.
