About this map

Gold mining operations define the landscape surrounding Grass Valley in the late 1940s, with a dense network of shafts and tailings ponds concentrated east and south of the town center. Extensive industrial footprints like the Empire Mine and Idaho-Maryland Mine sit alongside smaller operations such as the North Star Mine and Ophir Hill Mine. The town's social fabric is visible through landmarks like the Hennessey Sch, St Marys Cem, and Grass Valley Memorial Hospital.
