1972 Map of Bourne

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Bourne sits at the heart of this mining-intensive landscape within the Whitman National Forest, where the complex topography of Elkhorn Ridge and Elkhorn Crest is marked by a dense concentration of historical extraction sites. The map records the legacy of the region's gold mining era, particularly along the drainage of Cracker Creek, which is lined with significant dredge tailings leading south toward Sumpter. The distribution of claims like the North Pole Mine, Columbia Mine, and Golconda Mine indicates a high level of activity that once supported the local economy.
