1968 Map of Chrome

About this map

The settlement of Chrome and the surrounding ranchlands of Glenn County are documented here during the late 1960s. This landscape is defined by the convergence of Grindstone Creek and Stony Creek, where agricultural life and early industrial efforts are visible through features like the Gillaspy Ranch and Roweroft Ranch. The map reveals a history of resource extraction in the hills to the north, specifically at the Black Diamond Mine and Gray Eagle Mine, while the Grindstone Rancheria and Grindstone Cem indicate the cultural and communal centers of the area.
