About this map

Jackson serves as the focal point of this Amador County survey, situated at the confluence of several branches of Jackson Cr. The town's industrial and mining heritage is evident through features like Kennedy Mine Rd and the Massa Tunnel, alongside the Jackson Cem and the historic Jackson Gate area. To the north, Martell and the Westover Field-Amador County Airport mark the region's modern infrastructure and transport links.

The southern portion of the map is dominated by the expansive Pardee Reservoir, where the Mokelumne River is impounded. Significant landforms and landmarks surround the water, including Camp Pardee, John Bull Peak, and Chrome Mountain. The terrain is deeply etched with numerous named ravines such as Copper Mine Gulch, School Land Gulch, and Spanish Gulch, reflecting a landscape heavily shaped by both natural drainage and historical prospecting efforts.
