1948 Map of Murphys

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The gold-bearing foothills of Calaveras County are documented here in the late 1940s, centered on the community of Murphys and its proximity to notable mineral and natural landmarks. The terrain is marked by deep gulches and the prominent Table Mountain to the south, while the Stanislaus National Forest defines the eastern boundary. This era shows the active intersection of early industry and local healthcare, exemplified by the Bret Harte Sanatorium located just north of town and the Utica Powerhouse along Angels Creek.
