1949 Map of Chicago Park

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The gold-bearing ridges of Nevada and Placer counties are defined here by a network of hydraulic mining sites and historic water infrastructure. Rollins Reservoir dominates the lower center of the sheet, submerged beneath which the Bear River flows. The landscape is marked by legacy industrial sites like Red Dog and You Bet, where extensive Placer Diggings and the Chalk Bluff Ridge reveal the scale of 19th-century earth-moving. High points like Banner Mtn overlook active and inactive operations including the Lava Cap Mine and the Banner Mine.
