About this map

Auburn and its surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills are captured here during a period of mid-century growth and institutional expansion. The map details the intersection of regional infrastructure and historic gold-country settlements, featuring the sprawl of DeWitt State Hospital and the activity at the Auburn Municipal Airport. Water management systems are central to the landscape, with the North Fork American River flowing toward Lake Clementine, and numerous canals and forebays like Halsey Forebay serving the region's power and agricultural needs.
