[5] In1875 the County Board of Supervisors approved a petition to construct a road and necessary bridges from the town of Washington to the Yuba Mine.

[7] At that time, the area that became the Maybert townsite was generally referred to as "the Yuba Mine situated above Washington", or words to that effect.

Importantly, the town was connected by a new 7 mile easterly road to the Central Pacific station at Emigrant Gap.

[20] One Fourth of July featured a tug-of-war between teams from the Yuba and Eagle Bird mines, followed by a grand ball for the benefit of the school.

[25] With the reopening of the Yuba, Eagle Bird and other mines, the post office was revived in 1907 [26] and continued operation until 1910.

[29] In 1891, with one of the owners being the George Hearst Estate, it employed 75 men and ran 25 stamps to crush the quartz.

[35] The Eagle Bird Mine, situated 3/4 of a mile west of Maybert, had a similar trajectory.

"[36] In 1888, the mine changed hands and it was reported "that the Eagle Bird will again prove to be a dividend paying property under intelligent and economical management.

"[37] In 1890, the State Mineralogist, reported that the mine then employed about 75 people, had its own sawmill and its miners were paid $3 a day and mill men $3–3.50.

It then was described as having "been idle for many years for the want of sufficient capital to do the necessary development work to reach a ledge that contains the pay rock.

[46] In 1888, the Yuba suspended work for two days to give the Chinese time to celebrate the lunar new year.

The forest service, with the property-owner's permission, burned the remaining buildings to the ground to drive the squatters out and avoid the risk of wildfire from people squatting there.

Today, there are few remains of the old town site, which is difficult to access because there no longer is a bridge across the Yuba at the townsite.

The area is popular with hikers, campers and fishermen.The land is privately held, but surrounded by the Tahoe National Forest.
