1972 Map of Crawfish Lake

About this map

Whitman National Forest land defines this portion of the Blue Mountains, where the boundary between Union and Grant counties cuts through high-elevation terrain. This 1972 survey, updated with 1984 revisions, captures a landscape shaped by early mining activity and remote wilderness access. At the southern edge of the map, a cluster of lode claims and workings including the Continental Mine, Standard Mine, and Labellevue Mine sit near the small settlement of Cabell City. The presence of a cemetery and Ruins near these sites points to the early 20th-century gold and silver prospecting that once thrived in these canyons.
