Gold mining heritage and military expansion converge in this survey of the Sierra Nevada foothills. The landscape is defined by its industrial waterworks, where the Rough and Ready Res feeds a network of ditches and siphons across Penn Valley and the surrounding ridges. Legacy quartz mining is evident at the Kentucky Mine and Niagara Mine on Kentucky Ridge, as well as the Mistletoe Mine near the settlement of Rough and Ready.
