1950 Map of Leesburg

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Leesburg and the surrounding Salmon River Mountains are defined by their deep mining heritage in this mid-century survey. The landscape is marked by numerous inactive operations, including the Italian Mine and the Ringbone Cayuse Mine, reflecting a transition from the area's peak extraction years toward forest management. The Blackbird Townsite stands as a focal point of settlement, while isolated outposts like the Williams Creek Guard Station and Cougar Point Camp indicate the role of the national forest in the local economy. From the Jureano Placer Diggings to the small Cem near the main settlement, the map provides a look at a landscape where gold and mineral prospects shaped the terrain. Water sources such as Arnett Creek and Napias Creek provided the necessary resources for both mining and the small livestock operations found at Peterson Ranch.
