1948 Map of French Corral

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

French Corral and Bridgeport anchor this study of the Gold Country landscape along the South Yuba River during the late 1940s. The geography is defined by a legacy of hydraulic mining and water management, evidenced by the extensive network of the Browns Valley Ditch and Excelsior Ditch winding through the hills. While the San Juan Mine is noted as abandoned, the presence of the Yuba Powerhouse and the recently formed Englebright Reservoir indicate the region's shift toward hydroelectric power. Local family names persist at Richards Ranch and Schwartz Ranch, while a vanished era is marked by the Rice Crossing (Site). The map also identifies the Pleasant Valley Sch and a local Cem, providing valuable data points for those researching the early twentieth-century community of Pleasant Valley.
