1950 Map of French Corral

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

San Juan Ridge dominates this Sierra Nevada foothills landscape, where Gold Rush history intersects with mid-century hydroelectric development. The Yuba River and its branches carve deep through the terrain, featuring the then-active Colgate Powerhouse and the waters of Englebright Reservoir. Cultural history is anchored by the settlement at French Corral and nearby Birchville, while the presence of the San Juan Mine (Inactive) points to the area's extraction roots.
