2000 Map of Gold Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

High-altitude mining claims and mid-century recreation spots dot this landscape where the Plumas National Forest and Tahoe National Forest meet. The area is defined by the Lakes Basin, a dense collection of alpine water bodies including Gold Lake, Long Lake, and Jamison Lake. Traces of the region's industrial past are preserved at the Jamison Mine (Site) near Eureka Peak, while active resource extraction history is evident at the Four Hills Mine and Empire Mine further south. The map illustrates a transition from industrial exploitation to seasonal tourism, shown by the establishment of the Salmon Lake Resort, Gray Eagle Lodge, and the Girl Scouts Camp. Transportation routes like the historic Beckworth Downieville Trail and the Gold Lake Highway provide a framework for the movement of people and ore through the Gold Valley.
