1968 Map of Carbondale

About this map

Cosumnes River gold-mining history is etched into the landscape here, visible through the extensive Dredge Tailings that line the riverbanks and surround the old settlement of Michigan Bar. This late-1960s survey documents a region defined by its extractive past and agricultural present, straddling the boundary of Sacramento and Amador Counties. Near the northern edge, a Michigan Bar Historical Marker stands as a reminder of the area's pioneer importance, while the Michigan Bar Cem and Live Oak Cem offer vital clues for genealogists tracking early families of the foothills.
