1994 Map of Greenville

About this map

Indian Valley serves as a geographic anchor for this 1990s-era study of the Sierra Nevada foothills, where the settlement of Greenville sits at the intersection of timber-rich national forests and historic mining claims. The landscape is defined by the high ridge of Keddie Ridge and the Eagle Lake Mount Hough range, shielding the meadows from the northern expanse of the Mountain Meadows Reservoir. This map documents a transitional period in the local economy, where industrial sites like the New York Mine and Indian Valley Mine share space with modern infrastructure such as the Indian Valley Hospital Heliport and the Indian Mission. Genealogists and historians will find value in the detailed plotting of local landmarks, including the Cemetery south of town, the High Sch, and the Stroing Ranch to the northeast. Water remains the primary shaper of the valley, from the Indian Valley Hot Springs to the Peter Lassen Springs Marker, commemorating the area’s early frontier routes.
