USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Sumpter sits at the heart of a landscape fundamentally altered by industrial extraction, evidenced by the massive Dredge Tailings that dominate the Powder River floor. These mounds of gravel, stretching through the Sumpter Valley and into McEwen Valley, reveal the scale of the gold dredging operations that once defined the local economy. The legacy of this period is further marked by the Old Railroad Grade and various ruins scattered near the McCully Fork.
