About this map

Gold mining operations and steep river canyons dominate this mid-century survey of the Stanislaus National Forest region. The landscape is defined by the South Fork Stanislaus River and its numerous tributaries, including Fivemile Creek and Woods Creek. Hardrock mining remains a visible legacy across the terrain, with specific sites like the Lucky Strike Mine, Shanghai Mine, and Grant Mine following the veins between Contention Ridge and Telegraph Hill.
