2018 Map of Irish Hill

About this map

Irish Hill and the surrounding Amador County landscape are defined by a complex network of seasonal creeks and historical water management features as they appeared in 2018. To the north, the edge of Plymouth is visible near Bisbee Peak, while the city of Ione anchor the south-central portion of the map. The terrain transitions from the lowlands of the Sacramento Valley and Central Valley toward the more varied elevations of Sugarloaf Peak and Rocky Point. Water history is written into the land through the Arroyo Seco Ditch and several drainages like Spanish Gulch and New York Gulch. Local ranching and aviation footprints are evident at the Horse Shoe A Ranch Airport, situated east of Willow Springs Cr. Smaller settlements and railroad-era markers like Edwin are positioned along the western roads, while reservoirs such as Henderson Reservoir and Goffinet Reservoir suggest the ongoing importance of water storage in this Mediterranean climate.
