1968 Map of Carbondale

About this map

The Cosumnes River corridor dominates this landscape, showing the dramatic physical legacy of industrial mining operations through extensive Dredge Tailings banked along the river and Arkansas Creek. The 1968 field check captures a transitional moment for the Gold Country borderlands, where the historic mining footprint at Bridge House and Live Oak sits alongside modern transport routes. To the south, the Southern Pacific tracks run through the Arroyo Seco drainage near the settlement of Carbondale, providing a glimpse into the rail-linked economy of Sacramento and Amador counties.
