1951 Map of Mt. Fillmore

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Gold mining history is etched into the steep drainages of the High Sierra, where the Plumas National Forest and Tahoe National Forest meet at the Plumas Co Sierra Co line. This 1951 field-checked survey reveals a landscape defined by hydraulic and hard-rock operations, from the Deadwood Diggings in the west to the Widesawake Mine and Nessler Mine near the Downie River. The map marks the location of Poker Flat and the Potosi (Site), suggesting a period when these once-active camps had transitioned to remote outposts or archaeological points of interest.
