USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
South Fork Yuba River dominates the northern landscape of this Nevada County gold country map, where the settlement of Washington sits at the confluence with Washington Creek. The area is a dense record of hydraulic and hard-rock mining history, evidenced by the extensive Alpha Diggings and Omega Diggings on the high ridges. Complex water management infrastructure, including the Cascade Canal and various flumes, supported both mining and later hydroelectric development at Drum Powerhouse.
