1962 Map of Irish Hill

About this map

Irish Hill and Indian Hill anchor the southern landscape of this 1962 Amador County survey, an area defined by its complex network of seasonal drainages and early industrial activity. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural plains toward the foothills, marked by numerous resource extraction sites like the Claypit and several Gravel Pit locations near Edwin. Transportation and social centers are clearly delineated, including the crossroads at Four Corners and the rural Willow Springs Sch north of Waits Station. Water management is prominent throughout the terrain, from the Henderson Reservoir and Goffinet Reservoir in the southeast to the winding courses of Arroyo Seco, Dry Creek, and Mule Creek. The presence of several Ruins and isolated Grave markers provides critical points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the early settlement patterns of the California Gold Country.
