2011 Map of Golden

About this map

Golden and Placer are the primary settlements in this southern Oregon landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and creeks that once fueled local mining and timber activity. The presence of Greenback Mine Rd, Quartz Mill Gulch, and Panning Gulch highlights the region's mineral heritage, particularly concentrated around Grave Creek and Coyote Creek. To the south, the Placer Cemetery sits near the junction of Placer and the Slagle Creek drainage, serving as a landmark for genealogical research in the area.
