1954 Map of Gold Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Coon Canal and Southern Pacific rail lines define the hydraulic and commercial landscape of this Placer County region during the mid-1950s. The terrain is marked by the heavy hand of California's gold-rush legacy, evidenced by extensive Dredge Tailings along the Lincoln Road corridor and numerous ravine-cut drainages like Doty Ravine and Dutch Ravine. Community life is anchored by local institutions such as the Mt Pleasant Community Hall and the Gold Hill Grange Hall, while the educational landscape shows signs of transition with both the Gold Hill Sch (Abandoned) and Columbia Sch (Abandoned) marked as defunct. From the heights of Big Hill to the mineral waters at Kilaga Springs, the map reveals a countryside where early resource extraction and small-scale agriculture had already begun to leave a permanent mark on the land.
