About this map

Pine Grove and the neighboring community of Pine Acres anchor this 2015 study of the Amador County foothills. The landscape is defined by its complex hydraulic history, featuring the Amador Canal, Upper Standard Canal, and the Volcano Ditch, which trace the contours of the terrain to support local industry. Significant elevation changes are marked by peaks like Mt Zion and Clinton Peak, while the northern reaches include the historic settlement of Volcano, home to both a Catholic Cemetery and a Protestant Cemetery.

Researchers will find a dense network of naming conventions tied to local industry and families, including New York Ranch Gulch and the smaller community of Clinton in the south. The hydrography of the region is notably intricate, with the Sutter Cr and Rancheria Cr systems cutting through the gold country hills. Local roads like Contini Mine Rd and Spagnoli Mine Rd further hint at the area's deep-rooted mining heritage.
