About this map

Gold mining history permeates the drainages of the South Fork Stanislaus River and Fivemile Creek in this late 1940s survey of Tuolumne County. The landscape is a complex network of steep ridges and gulches, dominated by the Stanislaus National Forest and dotted with numerous active or legacy mining sites including the Indian Girl Mine, Contention Mine, and Mountain Lily Mine. This period captures the transition of the region from its hard-rock mining roots toward new uses, seen in the presence of the Phoenix Powerhouse and the Old Oak Ranch.
