1947 Map of Browns Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Yuba River carves a complex path through this landscape, where the legacies of hydraulic mining and large-scale dredging are etched into the terrain. In the years following World War II, the settlements of Hammonton and Marigold stand alongside extensive dredge tailings that dominate the river corridor. To the north, the hard-rock mining history of the Gold Country is evident at the Donnebroge Mine and Pennsylvania Mine near the base of Browns Valley Ridge. The southern portion of the map is defined by the sprawling Camp Beale Military Reservation, which transformed local land use during the era. Water management is a central theme, shown through the network of the Honcut Ditch, Cordua Canal, and the Daguerra Pt Dam, all supporting the agricultural transition of the Yuba County foothills.
