USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Gold mining history permeates the high ridges of the Plumas National Forest and Tahoe National Forest in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by a dense network of placer diggings and named shafts such as the Woods Mine and Union Keystone Mine. Settlements like La Porte and Gibsonville serve as anchors along Gibsonville Ridge, while smaller sites like Port Wine, Queen City, and Howland Flat reflect the localized intensity of early California extraction.
