1929 Map of Mill City

About this map

Mill City and the Southern Pacific railroad corridor serve as the industrial anchors for this timber and mining region during the mid-1920s. Following the Little North Santiam River and its tributaries, the map reveals a landscape defined by resource extraction, featuring numerous active sites such as the Silver King Mine, Black Eagle Mine, and Crown Mine. The settlement of Quartzville sits deep within the southern peaks, connected by a network of trails and routes usually traveled that bridge the gap between high-altitude lookouts like Table Rock Lookout and the river valley floor.
