Liscomb Hill - Humboldt, CA

Section

What kind of site this is

Drawn as a mine worked both from the surface and underground. The ore color stands for barium-barite. Federal records note the kind of operation and its status, not its depth or layout, so this is a typical example rather than a survey of this site.
