1981 Map of Gold Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

High Sierra mining history and mid-century recreation converge in this 1980s-era study of the Lakes Basin. The terrain is marked by an extensive legacy of resource extraction, with deep-seated quartz and gold interests represented by the Jamison Mine (Site) and the Empire Mine. These industrial sites, alongside the Four Hills Mine and Sisson Mine, speak to a century of hard-rock prospecting that defined the local economy before the region transitioned toward seasonal tourism.
