About this map

The Mokelumne River and its numerous forks define the hydraulic landscape of the Mother Lode region during the height of its post-Gold Rush development. This 1888 survey documents the vital water infrastructure necessary for mining and agriculture, including an extensive Aqueduct and several reservoirs near Sutter Creek. The map details the transition from river-based transport to iron rails, featuring the Amador Branch Railroad and the San Joaquin and Sierra Nevada Railroad as they penetrate the foothills toward Jackson and San Andreas.
