1959 Map of The Geysers

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Geothermal energy and quicksilver mining define this late 1950s landscape across the Mayacmas Mountains. The map documents the early infrastructure of The Geysers, where a powerplant and the Geysers Resort are situated along Big Sulphur Creek. The region’s mercury mining legacy is visible through numerous operations, including the Buckman Mines with its housing units and headquarters, the Cloverdale Mine, and the Socrates Mine. Further south, the small settlement of Mercuryville sits near the Culver Bear Mine.
