About this map

The cinnabar-rich hills of the Diablo Range dominate this mid-century survey, centered on the mining operations at New Idria (Idria PO). The landscape is a network of mercury and mineral extractions, featuring significant sites like the Florence Mack Mine and the Santa Margarita Mine near the headwaters of the San Benito River. The topography rises steeply to San Benito Mtn, reflecting the geological complexity of an area defined by mineral exploration and high-elevation ranching.
