About this map

Bear Valley and the surrounding Coast Range foothills are depicted here following a period of significant mineral exploration and early infrastructure development. The map reveals a remote landscape transitioning away from its nineteenth-century peaks, most notably evidenced by the Colusa & Lake R.R. (Abandoned) which once connected these hills to the valley floor. Near the southern edge, the concentration of mining activity around Wilbur Springs and Jones Springs is prominent, featuring the Monzanela Gold Mine, the Wide Awake Mercury Mine, and the Abbott Mercury Mine.
