About this map

Downieville sits at the confluence of the Downie River and the North Fork Yuba River, serving as a central hub for the extensive gold mining operations that defined this section of the Tahoe National Forest. The landscape is densely packed with lode and placer claims, from the Oxford Mine & Mill just north of town to the high-elevation White Bear Mine and Monte Cristo Mine along Saddleback Ridge.
