1979 Map of Sawyers Bar

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Sawyers Bar serves as the focal point of this 1970s survey, situated along the North Fork Salmon River where gold mining legacies are still clearly visible. The map documents a landscape defined by the intersection of the Marble Mountain Wilderness and the Klamath National Forest, highlighting a rich history of extraction and mountain settlement. Researchers can locate the Bestville (Site), an early mining camp area, alongside several active or historical operations like the Black Bear Mine and New Diggings Mine. Extensive Dredge Tailings along the riverbanks indicate the scale of industrial mineral recovery that shaped this canyon. Further south, the Blue Ridge Lookout Tower stands over a network of primitive routes including the Pack Trail, connecting remote outposts such as Godfrey Ranch and Heiney Bar.
