1957 Map of Pioneerville

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Pioneerville sits at the heart of this gold-mining landscape, where the confluence of Grimes Creek and Clear Creek facilitated intensive hydraulic and lode operations. The map documents a terrain heavily modified by industry, specifically noting Tailings along the creek beds and a dense concentration of hard-rock mines in the southeast. Significant family-named locations such as the Arbaugh Ranch and numerous gulches named for minerals or provisions—including Lager Beer Gulch and Charcoal Creek—point to the area's colorful history as a center of the Idaho Basin gold rush. Beyond the primary settlement, the map reveals an extensive network of Jeep Trails and prospects reaching toward Wilson Peak. Researchers will find evidence of long-standing mining infrastructure at the Washington Mill and legacy claims like the Gambrinus Mine and Little Klondike Mine.
