Luster Load Mining History & Vestiges
Mining in the Buffalo Creek area for granite, pink feldspar, white quartz, and black mica dates back to the 1880's. With the signature of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940, the Luster Lode Mining Claim became private property. Vestiges and relics of early mining days remain scattered throughout the surrounding national forest.
