1982 Map of Weaverville

About this map

Union Hill Mine Hydraulic Mine and the historic La Grange Mine reveal the heavy industrial footprint of gold-era hydraulic operations in this corner of the Trinity National Forest. The landscape is deeply etched by mining activity, evident in the extensive Tailings deposits along the Trinity River and the numerous named gulches like Ten Cent Gulch and Five Cent Gulch that drain toward Weaverville. The town itself serves as a hub of development, featuring a Golf Course, Lowden Park, and the Weaverville Airport. To the south, Douglas City sits at a bend in the river near the Readings Bar Site, marking an area where early river-based settlements once thrived. This 1980s-era data shows the transition from extractive industry to a landscape defined by forest management and recreation, including the Douglas City Campground.
