1950 Map of Greenville

About this map

Indian Valley serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, where the Western Pacific RR snakes along the canyon walls of Indian Creek. The area’s complex industrial and social history is visible through the concentration of mining operations and tribal lands, including the Greenville Rancheria and Taylorsville Rancheria. Mining activity is particularly dense in the northern and southern ridges, where the Engel Mine, Ruby Mine, and King Solomon Mine reflect a century of extraction.
