1988 Map of Quartz Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Fremont National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Lake County, where logging and mining operations shaped the rugged terrain. Industrial relics like the Old RR Grade and a Wooden Pole Trans Line slice through the timber, marking the infrastructure of the late 20th century. Near Quartz Mountain Pass, numerous prospects, a mineshaft, and Open Pit Mines indicate active mineral exploration. The map reveals a highly managed watershed with multiple artificial impoundments, including Butcher Flat Reservoir and Holbrook Reservoir. These sites, along with the Lofton Reservoir Campground and natural features like Petes Puddle and Tule Pond, suggest a region balanced between resource extraction and backcountry recreation during the 1980s. Local history is anchored at sites such as Round Grove and the historical Angel Camp (Site) near Drews Creek.
