1955 Map of Cecilville

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The South Fork Salmon River carves through the heart of this mid-century survey, a landscape defined by the legacies of the California gold rush. Cecilville stands as the primary hub, surrounded by active and historical extraction sites such as the King Solomon Mine and the White Bear Mine. The map documents the slow transition from intensive mining to a forest-management and ranching economy, indicated by the Crawford Cr Guard Sta and several family-named holdings like Georges Ranch and Blue Ridge Ranch. High-altitude landmarks such as Lafayette Point and the Salmon Mountains frame a network of isolated camps and cabins, including Jorstad Cabin and Five Dollar Camp. Of particular note for genealogists are the recorded sites of Summerville and Yoakumville, representing the fading footprints of once-essential canyon settlements.
