1986 Map of Golden
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Golden and Placer stand as focal points in this 1986 survey of the mining-heavy landscape along the Douglas Co Josephine Co border. The map reveals an intricate network of mineral claims and operations, notably the Greenback Mine and Anaconda Mine in the central hills. These sites, along with others like the MacAbee Mine and Morning Star Mine, illustrate a legacy of extraction near the waters of Coyote Creek and Wolf Creek. Infrastructure such as the Stage Road and a high-elevation Pipeline suggest the logistical demands of these remote operations. Significant landmarks for local history include a Cemetery near Placer and the prominent heights of St Paul Mountain and St Peter Mountain, which overlook the surrounding gulches and reservoirs like Secesh Reservoir.
