2015 Map of Coloma

About this map

Coloma and the nearby settlement of Lotus sit along a bend of the South Fork American River, a landscape defined by its deep connection to the California Gold Rush. This survey captures a dense concentration of local history markers, including the Marshall Gravesite, Pioneer Cemetery, and Uniontown Cemetery. The topography transitions from the river valley to prominent peaks such as Mt Ararat and Perry Mtn, while small airstrips like Bacchi Valley Industries Airport and Akin Airport highlight the modern rural infrastructure. To the south, the community of Gold Hill is situated near Weber Cr, with a network of local roads such as Gold Hill Rd and Cold Springs Rd connecting the dispersed residential and agricultural tracts. This era shows the developed road network over terrain historically shaped by mining and early settlement.
