1948 Map of Sonora

About this map

Mark Twain Cabin stands near Tuttletown on the slopes of Jackass Hill, anchoring this mid-century topographic record of the California Mother Lode. The landscape is defined by the massive basaltic crest of Table Mountain, which winds through the terrain alongside the tracks of the Sierra RR. This survey captures the transition from historic mining operations to a modernizing Gold Country infrastructure, featuring prominent sites like the Harvard Mine and Golden Rule Mine alongside the early stages of Melones Res.
