1988 Map of Rye Valley

About this map

The gold-mining legacy of Eastern Oregon is clearly defined across Rye Valley in this late 1980s topographical study. A series of Placer Mine and Placer Mines labels follow the drainages of Rattlesnake Gulch and the North Fork, illustrating the intensity of extraction in this corner of the state. These operations, coupled with the presence of a lone Cem in the northern valley, point to the localized settlement patterns that once thrived around these mineral deposits.
