About this map

The town of Whitehall serves as the focal point of this Jefferson County landscape, where the valley floor meets the mineral-rich slopes of the surrounding hills. This contemporary survey details a well-established settlement pattern anchored by civic landmarks like the Whitehall Post Office and the Whitehall Vol Fire Dept. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Jefferson River and its accompanying Jefferson Slough, which dominate the northern half of the quadrangle.

South of the river, the map reveals a history of extraction concentrated in the Dry Lake Mountains and the vicinity of Gold Hill. Numerous mining operations are documented, including the Mayflower Mine and West Mayflower Mine, alongside several section-specific sites like the NW SE Section 31 Mine. The transition from the irrigated valley near Mayflower Bridge to the spring-fed basins like Bone Basin illustrates the area's dual reliance on ranching and mining.
