1957 Map of Pioneerville

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Pioneerville serves as the focal point of this late 1950s survey, situated within the Boise National Forest where gold mining legacies mark the landscape. The map reveals a high concentration of lode mining activity concentrated in the southern gulches, particularly around Washington Gulch and Gambrinus Gulch. Here, researchers can locate industrial sites like the Washington Mill alongside numerous workings such as the Mascot Mine, Illinois Mine, and the Lucky Boy Mine. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Grimes Creek and Clear Creek, which carved the steep gulches where many of these claims were established. Beyond the larger mining operations, the presence of the Arbaugh Ranch and scattered labels for prospects and shafts illustrate the persistence of individual mining efforts and small-scale settlement in this corner of the Boise Basin.
