USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Nevada City sits at the heart of this gold-country landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding ridges and mining operations during the late 1940s. The terrain is defined by the deep carving of the South Yuba River, which flows between San Juan Ridge and Montezuma Ridge. Evidence of the region’s hydraulic mining legacy is clearly visible at the Cherokee Diggings near the settlement of Cherokee.
