USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
Gold mining history and mid-century forestry intersect across the Plumas Co Sierra Co boundary in the northern Sierras. This survey, compiled from 1946 aerial photography, details a landscape defined by hydraulic mining scars and the persistent remains of the California Gold Rush. Named mining camps and small settlements like La Porte and Gibsonville anchor the region, while the terrain is marked by numerous active and dormant sites such as the Bellevue Mine, Caledonia Mine, and the Union Keystone Mine.
