1982 Map of Graniteville

About this map

Graniteville and the surrounding high country of the Tahoe National Forest reveal a landscape defined by 19th-century gold mining and hydraulic engineering. While the primary settlement remains centered near the Cem, much of the area's activity is found at industrial sites like Old Condon Mill and Marsh Mill. The map documents a dense network of extraction, with family-named or descriptive claims such as the Hotwater Mine, Birchville Mine, and Nixon Mine dotting the terrain from Rocky Glen to the slopes above Poorman Creek.
