1978 Map of Dees Peak

About this map

White Rock City and Marysville stand as remnants of the mining era within the Salmon Trinity Alps Primitive Area. This 1970s survey documents a landscape where former settlements and mineral operations are reached primarily by a network of pack trails rather than modern roads. The presence of multiple sites labeled as ruins, including Old Denny and Lake City, indicates a region that once supported more active habitation, likely tied to the extraction of gold or cinnabar. The rugged terrain is defined by the New River and its tributaries, such as Battle Creek and Sherwood Creek, which cut through ridges named for local figures or terrain, like Carey Ridge and Oven Bake Ridge. The industrial history is marked by the Sherwood, Hunter, and Cinnabar mines, while small indicators of early homesteading or shelter persist at Emmons Cabin and Megram Cabin.
