New Almaden Then and Now & Quicksilver History
The historical image is from a photo by Careton Watkins in 1863, "Panorama from the Cross Hill (No.1), New Almaden".
My starting point was an image posted by Charles Cox.
The historical image is from a photo by shown by the park on the marker next to the Senador Mine area in the park.
It is entitled: "Looking East to Almaden Valley from the Seanador Trail area, circa 1916". (I suspect this is from Laurence E. Bulemore).
