1972 Map of Greenhorn

About this map

Greenhorn stands at the center of this high-elevation mountain landscape, where the boundaries of the Umatilla National Forest, Whitman National Forest, and Malheur National Forest converge. The area is defined by its deep mining history, evidenced by an extensive network of claims and workings including the Bonanza Mine, Humboldt Mine, and Red Bird Mine. Traces of earlier extractive industries are everywhere, from the Dredge Tailings along Orofino Creek to the Old Railroad Grade winding through the southern terrain near Tipton.
