2012 Map of Irish Hill

About this map

Irish Hill and Indian Hill anchor the southern landscape of this Amador County region, where a network of seasonal creeks and gulches define the terrain. The presence of Spanish Spring and the Spanish Gulch suggests the deep mining and prospecting roots of the area, while the modern landscape incorporates agricultural and leisure interests such as the Argonaut Winery and the Horse Shoe A Ranch Airport. Water management is prominent throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by the Arroyo Seco Ditch and several named catchments like Goffinet Reservoir and Henderson Reservoir. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from traditional ranching and mining to contemporary rural development, centered around small settlements like Four Corners and the area near Edwin. Prominent landmarks like Bisbee Peak and Sugarloaf Peak provide clear navigational markers for the surrounding valleys.
