1954 Map of Gold Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Virginiatown and the nearby Dredge Tailings define this landscape's industrial character in the mid-1950s, illustrating the heavy footprint of historical hydraulic and dredging operations. The map documents a network of water transport systems essential for both mining and agriculture, including the Caperton Canal and various ravines like Doty Ravine and Sailors Ravine. Traces of earlier California gold-rush-era settlement are evident in the number of educational and community landmarks, such as the Gold Hill Sch and the Columbia Sch, both noted as abandoned by the time of this survey.
