1891 Map of Smartsville
USGS Topo · Published 1891About this map
The gold-bearing foothills of the Sierra Nevada are documented here during the peak of late-nineteenth-century hydraulic and hard-rock mining. Nevada City and Smartsville stand as the primary hubs for a landscape deeply marked by industrial extraction, shown through a dense network of mines such as the Idaho Mine, North Star Mine, and Crown Point Mine. The terrain is defined by the steep canyons of the Middle Fork and South Yuba River, where early mining settlements like French Corral and the evocatively named Condemned Bar follow the watercourses.
