1949 Map of North Bloomfield

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Malakoff Diggings and the surrounding hydraulic mining landscape define this portion of the northern Sierra Nevada foothills. The map documents a terrain deeply altered by the quest for gold, with remnants of massive placer operations visible near North Bloomfield and North Columbia. The water infrastructure required for these efforts is preserved through an intricate network of ditches and canals, including the Cascade Ditch and Cascade Canal, which historically moved water from higher elevations to the diggings.
