About this map

Bates and Austin Junction anchor this mid-century survey of the Blue Mountains, showing the area's transition from a hard-rock mining hub to a timber-driven economy. The Sumpter Valley RR corridor follows the drainages of the Middle Fork John Day River, a landscape defined by high summits like Dixie Butte and Vinegar Hill. The map meticulously records the industrial legacy of the region, documenting numerous active and dormant claims including the Ben Harrison Mine, Standard Mine, and the historic China Diggings.
