About this map

The Sumpter Valley Railroad corridor anchors this 1987 survey of the high mountain country where Grant and Baker counties meet. Mining history is deeply etched into the landscape of the Blue Mountains, with a high concentration of named workings such as the Standard Mine, Dixie Meadows Mine, and the Cracker Oregon Mine clustered near Elkhorn Ridge. This map captures the region at a time when the legacy of early gold mining towns like Sumpter, Bourne, and Greenhorn remained visible alongside the modern timber and water management infrastructure of the Whitman National Forest.
