About this map

Quicksilver mining defines the rugged interior of the Coast Ranges shown here in the early 1940s, centered on the mineral-rich district near Wilbur Springs. The landscape is marked by numerous industrial operations, including the Abbott Mine, Mercury Mine, and the Wide Awake Mine, which suggest the intensive mercury extraction that once drove the local economy along Sulphur Creek. These mines were critical during the war years, drawing labor to small remote settlements like Leesville and Mountain House.
