About this map

Orogrande and the neighboring site of Old Orogrande anchor this survey of the high-elevation mining country within the Nez Perce National Forest. The landscape is heavily marked by the region's extraction history, featuring an extensive network of claims including the Homestake Mine, Penman Mine, and Gnome Mine. Evidence of large-scale industrial operations appears along the Crooked River in the form of Dredge Tailings and the Orogrande Frisco Mine, while the remote nature of these camps is underscored by the Orogrande Landing Strip and various pack trails.
