1979 Map of Dixie

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest forms the backdrop for this intensive look at a high-elevation mining district in the late 1970s. The landscape is heavily marked by gold-era industry, with a high concentration of lode and placer operations such as the Black Diamond Mine, Swastika Mine, and Dixie Queen Mine. The layout of the region revolves around the drainage of Crooked Creek and the high point of Dixie Summit, where a network of primitive jeep trails and pack trails provided the only access to remote claims. Traces of early 20th-century habitation are visible at the Dixie House ruins and the Midasville site, while the Cem and Dixie Landing Strip serve as markers of the enduring small community. The mapping of Hundred Dollar Gulch and Nugget Gulch suggests the specific draws that once attracted prospectors to this corner of Idaho County.
