About this map

Placerville and its surrounding gold country foothills are documented here in the late 1940s, showing a landscape defined by its mining heritage and early agricultural development. The map reveals the transition from active mining to a more settled rural economy, with several "Site" labels marking former settlements like Logtown and Cold Springs. Industry is represented by the Southern Pacific railroad line and numerous mining operations including the Starlight Mine, Union Mine, and Shaw Mine.
