2018 Map of Amador City

About this map

Sutter Creek and Amador City anchor this landscape of the northern Mother Lode, where the deep-rooted legacy of the California Gold Country is etched into the terrain. The map documents a cluster of historically significant settlements along the Highway 49 corridor, including Drytown, Plymouth, and New Chicago. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally detailed in its recording of local burial grounds, ranging from the Drytown Public Cem and Saint Stephens Cem to the Odd Fellows Cem and Sutter Creek Catholic Cem. The physical geography is defined by a complex network of water management features like the Amador Canal, Jackson Ditch, and Arroyo Seco Ditch, which supported the region's hydraulic and industrial needs. From the heights of Trembath Mtn to the depths of Snake Gulch, the map captures a transition between the foothills and the Sierra Nevada's lower reaches.
