1952 Map of Michigan Bluff

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Michigan Bluff serves as the focal point for this early 1950s survey of the California gold country, situated on a ridge between Michigan Canyon and the Middle Fork American River. The map reveals an intensive history of resource extraction, with the landscape marked by hydraulic mining operations at Big Gun Diggings and Digger Diggings. The presence of several historic locations like Maintop, Deadwood, and Sunny South suggests a shift from active gold-rush towns to remote forest sites by the mid-20th century.
