1968 Map of Carbondale

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Cosumnes River corridor near the Sacramento and Amador County boundary reveals a landscape deeply altered by resource extraction and early California industry. Extensive dredge tailings dominate the area near Bridge House and Michigan Bar, marking where gold mining reshaped the riverbanks. The settlement of Carbondale serves as a focal point in the southeast, situated along the Southern Pacific railroad line, which historically supported the transport of regional products. Numerous claypits and prospects are scattered across the terrain, particularly near Michigan Bar Road, indicating the ongoing importance of mineral deposits. For genealogists and local historians, the location of the Michigan Bar Cem and Live Oak Cem provide essential markers of the families who settled this transition zone between the valley and the foothills during the mid-to-late 20th century.
