USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Placerville and its surrounding gold country are documented here in the late 1940s, revealing a landscape transitioning from its 19th-century mining roots into a regional hub. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the center of town, while the complex water needs of the area are managed by the Texas Hill Irrigation Ditch and numerous creeks like Weber Creek. Outside the main settlements, the map identifies several significant mine locations including the Union Mine, Star-Light Mine, and Church Mine, reflecting the enduring industrial footprint on the terrain.
