2000 Map of Nevada City
USGS Topo · Published 2003About this map
Nevada City sits at the southern edge of this landscape, where the Sierra foothills are carved by the dramatic drainage of the South Yuba River. The map reveals a complex history of resource extraction, most notably at the Cherokee Diggings Hydraulic Mine and Columbia Diggings Mine, which left permanent marks on the terrain near Cherokee. These hydraulic mining sites, along with several gravel pits and smaller mines, speak to the gold-rush era heritage that shaped the region's economy and topography.
