1894 Map of Idaho Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1894

About this map

Idaho City serves as the focal point of this 1892 survey, surrounded by the high-elevation mining settlements that defined the Idaho Basin during the late nineteenth century. The map captures the specialized geography of the region’s early industry, from the Granite Quartz workings near Quartzburg to the clustered camps of Placerville, Centerville, and Pioneerville. This was a landscape built on the movement of people and ore, illustrated by the presence of the Halfway House along the western trails and the numerous gulches like Slaughter House Gulch and Boyles Gulch that fed into Grimes Creek.
