About this map

Gold mining operations and timber management dominate this mid-century survey of the California Sierra. The landscape is defined by the steep descent of Middle Fork American River and Duncan Canyon, where a dense network of claims such as the Missouri Flat Mine, Eldorado Mine, and Gold Dollar Mine trace the region's extractive history. The presence of former settlements like Star Town (Site) and French House (Site) points to an era of higher occupancy before the territory was primarily managed as the Tahoe National Forest.
