1954 Map of Gold Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Virginiatown and the nearby Gold Hill settlement center this mid-century survey of Placer County, capturing a landscape defined by its hydraulic and mining history. The complex network of water infrastructure, including the Camp Far West Ditch, Whisky Canal, and Doty Canal, illustrates the intensive management of local waterways like Coon Creek and Orr Creek for both agriculture and industry. To the south, the Southern Pacific railroad runs through Newcastle, while the presence of Dredge Tailings near the Lincoln Road serves as a physical reminder of the region's extractive past.
