1947 Map of Browns Valley
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Industrial activity and military expansion define this 1940s landscape along the Yuba River. The dredging operations near Hammonton and Marigold are visually striking, showing the extensive modification of the riverbed and surrounding terrain for gold extraction. Further north, the legacy of hard-rock mining is evident at the Donnebroge Mine and Pennsylvania Mine near the settlement of Browns Valley. This period also marks a significant shift in land use with the established Camp Beale Military Reservation occupying the southern half of the quadrangle, where a grid of military roads like Camp Beale Road overlays the older agricultural pattern.
