1947 Map of Browns Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Gold mining and hydraulic history define the landscape along the Yuba River in this mid-century survey. The northern reaches show the legacy of quartz mining at the Donnebroge Mine and Pennsylvania Mine near the settlement of Browns Valley. To the south, the massive industrial footprint of dredging is evident in the sprawling tailings surrounding Hammonton, where the river’s path is altered by a complex network of levees and the Daguerre Point Dam.
