About this map

Gold mining history defines the landscape of the American River's North and South Forks in the early 1950s. This survey records a critical moment of transition, with blue hatching indicating areas destined to be submerged by the Folsom Reservoir at the spillway elevation. Many historic mining settlements, identified here as sites, are positioned along the riverbanks including Whiskey Bar, Horseshoe Bar, and Rattlesnake Bar near the Rattlesnake Bridge.
