1948 Map of Nevada City
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Nevada City serves as the focal point for this post-war landscape, situated where the terrain transitions from industrial town-site to the steep canyons of the South Fork Yuba River. The map reveals the extensive hydraulic mining legacy of the region, clearly marking the massive Cherokee Diggings and numerous areas of Tailings that reshaped the natural drainage. This industrial imprint is further evidenced by a complex network of water infrastructure, including the Excelsior Ditch and Rough and Ready Ditch, which were critical for both mining and agricultural operations.
