1992 Map of Metaline

Evidence of the region's mining history is scattered across the high terrain of Linton Mtn and Deer Mtn, with sites like the Bella May Mine and Dixon Mine mapped alongside modern infrastructure like sewage disposal ponds and a large gravel pit. Rugged drainages including Sullivan Creek, Sweet Creek, and Cedar Creek feed into the main river, while the National Forest Boundary defines the ownership patterns between the forest and the riverfront settlements.
