2000 Map of Graniteville
USGS Topo · Published 2003About this map
Gold mining history is etched across the landscape of Tahoe National Forest, where the settlement of Graniteville sits amidst a high concentration of historic workings. At the turn of the 21st century, the area remained a complex map of industrial heritage and water management, dominated by the Bowman Lake reservoir and the surrounding high-country terrain. Numerous mining sites such as the Birchville Mine, Spotswood Mine, and the Hotwater Mine define the ridges, while legacy locations like the Marsh Mill and Old Condon Mill indicate the scale of former processing operations. The topography is split by the Middle Yuba River and Poorman Creek, revealing a network of ridges and flats including Pat Yore Flat and Murphy Flat. This map also documents vital water infrastructure, with several Gaging Stations situated along the steep descent of Bowman Canyon.
