1981 Map of Gold Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Gold Lake and the high-elevation basin surrounding Mt Elwell dominate this 1980s landscape, which spans the boundary between Plumas National Forest and Tahoe National Forest. The map provides a detailed look at a region transitioning from its hard-rock mining heritage to a premier recreation destination. Traces of the area's industrial past are visible at the Jamison Mine (Site) and the Empire Mine, while the presence of a Sawmill and several ruins hint at earlier logging and milling operations.
