1893 Map of Placerville

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

Gold Country settlements and industrial outposts define this late 19th-century landscape, centered on the activity of Placerville and the surrounding Sierra foothills. The geography is shaped by the complex drainage of the South Fork American River and the Middle Fork American River, where early mining operations like Spanish Diggings and the Mammoth Mine were established. Local transit relied on the Sacramento and Placerville Railroad and historical routes like the Mile Hill Toll House.
