1950 Map of Minersville

About this map

Minersville and Old Minersville anchor this 1950s survey of the Trinity Alps region, showing the landscape before the creation of Trinity Lake. The map documents a transition from early mining and ranching to a mid-century period of forestry and recreation. Historic resource extraction is evidenced by the Perry Mine, Saxe Mine, and the hydraulic engineering of the Coffee Ditch. Traditional land use is visible at Bricks Ranch and Cedar Stock Farm, while the settlement at Covington Mill and the Ridgeville Cemetery provide critical points of reference for genealogists and local historians.
