About this map

Placerville and the surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills are captured here during a period of intense resource extraction and early transport development. The map details a landscape defined by the deep canyons of the North Fork American River, Middle Fork American River, and South Fork American River. Settlement patterns are inextricably linked to the Gold Rush legacy, with numerous diggings, mines, and houses identified across the terrain.
