California State Route 49

SR 49 (State Route 49) is a north–south state highway in California that passes through many historic mining communities of the 1849 California gold rush. Highway 49 is numbered after the "49-ers", the waves of immigrants who swept into the area looking for gold, and a portion of it is known as the Gold Country Highway.

 

This is between Sacramento and Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park in Coloma where gold was found on January 24, 1848.
