1895 Map of Smartsville
USGS Topo · Published 1917About this map
Gold mining operations and timber interests dominate this rugged landscape of the northern Sierra foothills at the close of the nineteenth century. The map centers on the hydraulic and hard-rock mining districts of Yuba and Nevada Counties, where the Nevada Co. Narrow Gauge R.R. connects the industrial hubs of Grass Valley and Nevada City to the broader region. Significant quartz mines including the Idaho Mine, Empire Mine, and North Star Mine are clearly marked, illustrating the intensive mineral extraction that defined the local economy during this era.
