1961 Map of Oh-Be-Joyful

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Ruby Range peaks and high-elevation basins define this high-country landscape in the early 1960s, where legacy mining operations sit alongside the early developments of mountain recreation. The settlements of Pittsburg and Elkton are surrounded by a high density of mineral claims, including the Pittsburg Mine, Augusta Mine, and Painter Boy Mine. The extraction history of the area is further evidenced by an Old Railroad Grade tracing the path of the Slate River toward the Smith Hill Mine.
