Additional Details:
To one familiar with the history of "'49" the name of Dutch Flat calls to mind the stirring times of the gold rush to California. Here can be seen the scarred hillsides where hydraulic power swept gold from the rich gravel. There is still plenty of gold here, but the needs of the agriculturists have prohibited hydraulic mining, although the stages still run from Dutch Flat to "You Bet" and "Little York." where mines are still running.
