About this map

Malby Crossing and the settlement of Walltown anchor this mid-century look at the rolling hills between Sacramento and El Dorado counties. The landscape is defined by the hydraulic history of the Gold Country, visible in the extensive Tailings and Mines found near Deer Creek. The transportation network of the era is dominated by the Southern Pacific railroad and historic thoroughfares like White Rock Road and Latrobe Road, which connect the rural outposts. To the south, the Cosumnes River winds through the border of Amador County, past the small settlement of Crevis. Local history is preserved in markers such as the Carson Creek Sch (Aban'd) and a lone Cem, while an Abandoned Ditch and the heights of Ben Bolt Ridge reflect the physical modification of the terrain during the region's mining and ranching years.
