1952 Map of Camino

About this map

Camino and the surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills are captured in this mid-century record of El Dorado and Amador Counties. The landscape is defined by the deep canyons of the North Fork Cosumnes River and its sister forks, where small mountain settlements like Grizzly Flat and Omo Ranch served as hubs for local industry. The map reveals a high concentration of historic mining operations along Gold Note Ridge, including the Caldor Mine, Payne Mine, and the Independence Mine.
