Oregon Historical Mining Information

Mining Records - Curry County

The digital records available here are scans of the literature originally found in DOGAMI published and unpublished hardcopy holdings. Scans have been combined into single PDFs that may include maps, letters, news clippings, photographs, and reports. Note that some PDF files are very large.

This digital archive is evolving. Please contact us if you have suggestions or find errors. DOGAMI acknowledges Tomas Benson and Carol DuVernois for their excellent work on the DOGAMI historical documents scanning project.

Interested parties should contact their local land use authority to verify zoning and applicable land use ordinances. Respect the rights of private property owners. Understand that recreation in or around inactive mine sites is extremely dangerous and can result in serious injury or death. Stay out and stay alive! No warranty expressed or implied is made regarding the accuracy or utility of the data on any other system or for general or scientific purposes, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty. These data should not be used for site-specific studies.
