1951 Map of Quincy

About this map

Quincy and East Quincy anchor the American Valley at a time when the region's mining and timber foundations remained clearly visible. The Western Pacific Railroad snakes through the high country, connecting remote outposts like Spring Garden to the county seat. This mid-century survey captures a landscape transitioning from the gold-rush era to a modern resource economy, evidenced by the numerous small-scale mining operations and "site" labels for once-populated camps.
