About this map

Murphys serves as a primary hub for this Gold Country landscape in the late 1940s, situated at the junction of Ebbetts Pass Road and Central Hill Rd. The town's medical and industrial footprint is visible through the Bret Harte Sanatorium and the Utica Powerhouse, while its subterranean character is noted by Mercer Cave. To the north, the settlement of Sheep Ranch marks a high point of activity, centered around the Sheep Ranch Mine.
