2012 Map of Amador City

About this map

Amador City and the neighboring settlements of Drytown and Sutter Creek are situated within a landscape defined by historic mining and viticulture in the early 21st century. The map details a transition toward modern agricultural land use, evidenced by Youngs Vineyards and Stoneridge Winery, while maintaining clear spatial links to its 19th-century roots. Numerous burial grounds, including the Drytown Public Cem and Oak Knoll Cem, mark the legacy of early families, while topographic names like Bunker Hill and Snake Gulch hint at the area's gold-seeking past. Water management remains central to the region, with the Ione Canal and Plymouth Ditch traversing the terrain alongside numerous seasonal drainages like Horse Cr and Amador Cr. The concentration of cemeteries near Sutter Hill and Sutter Creek, such as the Independent Order of Oddfellows Cem, offers significant detail for researchers of local genealogy.
