USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Georgetown serves as the focal point for this survey of the California gold country, situated along the Georgetown Divide. The landscape is defined by the deep incision of the Middle Fork American River and a dense network of gulches and canyons that once hummed with hydraulic and hard-rock mining activity. Evidence of this extraction economy is everywhere, from the Josephine Mine and Buckeye Point Mine to the historical locations at African Bar and Georgia Slide.
