About this map

The Yuba River carves through a landscape of heavy hydraulic and dredge mining in this late 1940s survey. The river corridor is flanked by massive deposits and complex water systems, including the Cordua Canal and Stahl Ditch. The town of Hammonton sits at the center of this industrial geography, while Marigold appears nearby along the dredged banks. To the north, the foothills hold the Dannebroge Mine and Pennsylvania Mine, remnants of the region's gold mining heritage.
