About this map

Placerville and the surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills are captured in this late 19th-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by gold-rush history and early infrastructure. The map details the transition from initial discovery sites like Coloma to the complex network of quartz and hydraulic mines that followed. A string of waypoints, including Grizzly Bear House, Three Mile House, and Fourteen Mile House, line the early roads, marking the travel times and distances essential for freighting supplies into the mountains.
