About this map

Amador City and the historic Gold Country settlements along the Highway 49 corridor are documented in this detailed 2015 topographic survey. The map captures the dense cluster of mining-era hamlets and cemeteries that define the local genealogy, including Drytown, New Chicago, and Bunker Hill. Complex water management systems, essential to the region's hydraulic history, are visible through labels like the Plymouth Ditch, Arroyo Seco Ditch, and Amador Canal.

Genealogists can identify several distinct burial grounds, from the Catholic Cemetery near Sutter Hill to the Saint Stevens Cemetery and Protestant Cemetery. The landscape is characterized by its named drainages and gulches, such as Snake Gulch and Whisky Gulch, which give way to higher elevations at Trembath Mtn and Quartz Mtn. Modern infrastructure like the Westover Field Amador County Airport sits alongside historic routes such as Old Sacramento Rd and Fiddletown Rd.
