About this map

Mining operations and prospect sites dominate this portion of the Silver City Range in southwestern Idaho. Concentrated primarily around the settlement of Flint, a network of claims including the Perseverance Mine, Rising Star Mine, and Black Warrior Mine illustrates the intense geological interest in the gulches surrounding Dewey Peak. To the north, the terrain near De Lamar is marked by further industrial activity, including a Mine Dump and Tailings along Jordan Creek.

The landscape is defined by deep drainages like Washington Gulch and Twilight Gulch, which served as the primary conduits for exploration. While many sites are labeled simply as Prospects or Adit, named operations such as the Treasure Vault Mine and Hornet Mine indicate more established ventures. The map also records several Grave locations and a Cem near the Flint townsite, providing important points of interest for genealogists tracing the early mining population.
