1950 Map of Placerville
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Placerville and the surrounding El Dorado County gold country appear here just as the post-war era began to reshape the landscape. The Southern Pacific Railroad cuts through the northern hills, serving the historic hub of Placerville and nearby Smiths Flat. Evidence of the region's deep mining history is visible in the placement of the Starlight Mine, Union Mine, and the Church Mine, while the agricultural and rural character is anchored by a network of one-room schoolhouses like Ringold Sch and Coon Hollow Sch.
