2022 Map of Ione

About this map

Ione anchors this landscape in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, characterized by a complex network of historic water management and early industrial sites. The town sits at the junction of Sutter Cr and Mule Cr, surrounded by several significant burial grounds including the Preston School of Industry Cem and the Ione Catholic Cem. This region reflects a legacy of hydraulic engineering and transportation, visible in the path of the Amador Central RR and local waterways like the Ione Canal, Isaacs Ditch, and Kruth Ditch. South of town, the terrain rises toward the Buena Vista Peaks and The Chemisal, while modern developments like Camanche Village and Camanche Skypark appear near the southern reaches of Jackson Valley. Small settlements such as Sunnybrook, Firebrick, and Dagon dot the rail and road corridors, marking the area's agricultural and industrial history.
