Alder Springs, south of this point, marks the Old Coloma Road, which ran between Sutter’s Fort and Culluh-mah (Coloma). Established in 1847, the road was used by James W. Marshall in January 1848 to bring the first gold from Sutter’s Mill to the Fort. Later traveled by thousands to and from the diggings, it became the route of California’s first stageline, established in 1849 by James F. Birch.
