1950 Map of Forbestown
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Middle Fork Feather River and South Fork Feather River carve through this portion of the Sierra Nevada foothills during a period of transition for the local mining industry. The 1950 survey reveals a landscape where gold extraction has largely quieted, as evidenced by several marked inactive sites including the Southern Cross Mine, Denver Mine, and Gold Bank Mine. These industrial remnants sit alongside established settlements like Forbestown and Feather Falls, the latter of which features a Sawmill and specialized Railway infrastructure.
