About this map

Placerville and its surrounding gold-bearing canyons are recorded here during the late nineteenth-century mining era. The map details a complex network of resource extraction and early transport, centered on the South Fork American River and the Sacramento and Placerville Railroad. Dozens of active mining sites and prospector landmarks like Spanish Diggings, Mammoth Mine, and Henry Diggings dot the landscape alongside early infrastructure like the Mile Hill Toll House and Hanks Exchange.
