About this map

Grass Valley and Nevada City anchor this landscape, connected by the historical Nevada City Hwy corridor. The map reveals the intricate water management system essential to the Sierra Nevada foothills, featuring the Grass Valley Ditch, White Ditch, and Allison Ranch Ditch. These conduits, along with various reservoirs like Alta Hill Reservoir, trace the legacy of hydraulic engineering in the region.

Genealogists will find extensive documentation of local resting places, including the Old Grass Valley City Cem and the Old Saint Patrick's Catholic Cem. Smaller settlements such as Boston Ravine and Gold Flat are situated among geographical landmarks like Granite Hill and Rhode Island Ravine. From the Nevada County Airport in the east to Deadmans Flat in the west, the map documents a terrain defined by its gold-mining heritage and modern residential expansion.
