1979 Map of Dixie

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Mining operations and remote settlements define this high-elevation landscape within the Nez Perce National Forest during the late 1970s and 1980s. The map centers on the historical activity around Dixie Mine, where a concentration of claims including the American Mine, Ajax Mine, and Dixie Queen Mine follow the drainages of Crooked Creek and Fourth of July Creek. Evidence of earlier settlement is found at Dixie House (Ruins) and the Midwayville (Site), reflecting the area's transition from active gold mining to a more secluded forest outpost supported by the Landing Strip and Dixie Woodyard. High ridges like Blue Ridge and peaks such as Burpee Mountain separate these drainages, while a network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails provides the primary access to remote sites like the Black Diamond Mine and the nearby Cem.
