About this map

Malby Crossing and the settlement of Walltown anchor this mid-century survey of the foothills where Sacramento, El Dorado, and Amador counties meet. The landscape reflects a history of resource extraction, marked by numerous mines and prospects near Walltown, alongside extensive tailings and an Abandoned Ditch that speak to earlier hydraulic or quartz mining operations. The Southern Pacific railroad corridor runs roughly parallel to the Abandoned Ditch, cutting through a terrain defined by the Cosumnes River and the prominent Ben Bolt Ridge.
