With spring around the corner I may venture up the hill to see the sights. Reports of large garbage dumping, feral horses and talk of Camp McKinney which doesn’t get discussed as much as Fairview.

Does anyone have a better map of this area? – I saw this one tonight on RDOS site but hoping to find something better.

From Wikipedia: Camp McKinney is a ghost town in the Boundary Country region of British Columbia, Canada. It is located southeast of Baldy Mountain, northeast of Osoyoos.[1] Founded in 1896, it was situated on the south-eastern slopes of towering Baldy Mountain. Several mines in the area led to the creation of Camp McKinney. The premier mine was called Cariboo-Amelia, usually referred to as the Cariboo. By 1901 the population of McKinney was 250. Hotels such as St. Louis, Sailor, Camp McKinney, McBoyle & West’s, Cariboo and Miner’s exchange competed for the miners’ trade. The stagecoach of Hall line from Fairview and from the east came Meyerhoff’s stage from Midway. The business section of town consisted of 3 general stores, a drug store, a real estate office, butcher shop, a school and a church. By 1904 the gold mining declined in the area and Camp McKinney became a ghost town. Several attempts were made to revive the camp from 1907 which never succeeded. Today all that is left is a cemetery and a few abandoned workings.[2]
