1954 Map of Folsom SE

About this map

The Cosumnes River defines the southern boundary of this transition landscape where Sacramento, El Dorado, and Amador counties meet. In the mid-1950s, the terrain shows a complex history of hydraulic and hard-rock resource extraction, marked by extensive Tailings, several Mines, and a Prospect near Walltown. This industrial legacy is further evidenced by a long Abandoned Ditch and the former site of the Carson Creek Sch (Aban'd), suggesting a rural population that had already begun to shift by the time of the field check.
