Deadwood

DEADWOOD, 22 km west of GRAND FORKS near GREENWOOD in the BOUNDARY DISTRICT, was the site of the Mother Lode Mine, staked in 1891 and in production from 1900 to 1918. A townsite, complete with hotels and stores, was laid out at the mine to serve the workforce of 200, a SAWMILL was built, and the CPR's COLUMBIA & WESTERN RWY ran in a branch line. Deadwood was abandoned by early 1920s.
