1991 Map of Wilbur Springs
USGS Topo · Published 1995About this map
Wilbur Springs sits at the heart of a high mineral district where Colusa and Lake counties meet, dominated by a legacy of quicksilver and mercury mining. This 1991 survey details an extensive network of extractive sites concentrated along Sulphur Creek and the surrounding heights, including the Abbott Mine, Turkey Run Mine, and the Wide Awake Mine. The landscape is defined by the steep North Coast Range topography of Walker Ridge and Blue Ridge, where rugged four-wheel-drive tracks serve remote outposts like Deadshot and Benmore. Traces of earlier communal life remain visible through features such as the isolated Schoolhouse near Remington Canyon, while the numerous Prospects and Mine Dump labels scattered across the terrain provide a clear record of the area's intensive industrial history.
