1962 Map of Golden

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Mining operations and remote settlements define this rugged stretch of the Nez Perce National Forest during the early 1960s. The South Fork Clearwater River serves as the primary corridor for human activity, connecting the small community at Golden to nearby Old Golden and the residential pocket at Tenmile Sch. The landscape is heavily marked by gold-seeking history, with active or recent claims visible through labels like the Buffalo Idaho Mine, Blackbird Mine, and the hydraulic-intensive Meador Diggings. Local transport relies on a network of steep trails and unimproved tracks, such as the Pilot Knob Trail and the Mackey Right Fork Trail, which navigate the high ridges around Nellie Mountain and Reed Mountain. These paths suggest a continuation of prospecting and livestock movement across the high meadows and deep drainages that feeding the Clearwater.
