1952 Map of Weaverville

About this map

The gold mining legacy of the Trinity National Forest is etched across this mid-century landscape, centered on the historic town of Weaverville. The area's diverse cultural history is reflected in the presence of both a Chinese Cem and an Indian Cem near the town site. Industrial infrastructure from the hydraulic and lode mining era remains prominent, from the massive La Grange Mine and Union Hill Mine to the winding course of the Union Ditch, which redirected water across the ridges to support these operations.
