1995 Map of Nevada City

About this map

The San Juan Ridge landscape of the 1990s reveals a region profoundly shaped by its 19th-century hydraulic mining heritage. This era is visible through extensive earthworks and remnants like the Cherokee Diggings, Sebastopol Diggings, and North Columbia Diggings. The South Yuba River cuts through the center of the sheet, bordered by the South Yuba River State Park Unit, illustrating the late-20th-century shift toward conservation and recreation in a previously industrial landscape.
