1892 Map of Silver City

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Silver City anchors the high-country mining district of Owyhee County in the late nineteenth century, surrounded by a concentration of significant silver and gold operations. The map details the industrial footprint of the era, including the Black Jack Mine, Trade Dollar Mine, and the Poorman Mine near Florida Mt. To the north, the terrain drops toward the Snake River, where the river-and-road economy relied on crossings like the Warm Springs Ferry and Bernard Ferry. Local settlements such as De Lamar, Dewey, and Murphy provide a look at the early infrastructure supporting the region's mineral wealth. The landscape is defined by its drainage basins, from Sinker Creek in the east to the winding Reynolds Creek that flows through the center of the quadrangle. This 1892 survey preserves the relationship between the remote mountain camps and the essential ferry connections along the river valley.
