1979 Map of Buffalo Hump

About this map

Mining heritage defines the high ridges of the Nez Perce National Forest, where late-twentieth-century surveys documented a landscape of former boomtowns and extracted wealth. The central prominence of Buffalo Hump is surrounded by a network of historic workings, including the Big Buffalo Mine, Ajax Mine, and the Concord Mine. These sites represent the remains of a once-active gold district, now preserved within the Gospel-Hump Wilderness.
