Rock Creek was a school district and voting precinct located north of Auburn. On modern street maps, there is a Rock Creek Road that runs east of Hwy-49, just north of Bell Road. The main cemetery serving the area is the Auburn District Cemetery.

Hi Barbara, Yes and petered out in the early years, just about when the railroad starting taking land for their tracks. BUT... almost anywhere in Placer Co., plus the foothills along the Sierra mountains, has had major gold strikes thru that time as you probably know. My husbands Grandfather C F Humphrey, Lawyer in SF, took over a mine as a default on one of his business deals in the high country known as the Empire Mine. I have fascinating stories and photos of the mine from 1890 to about 1910. I am interested in 1880 to 1900, when Ella Monaghan shows up in 1900 census as a widow, of James Monihan, and I have been looking for the little Twp of Rock Creek and the cemeteries there to find graves....hopefully. I am in Stockton, CA about an hour south of Auburn, but have no idea as to the area's around Auburn and am to old and unable to travel much anymore, so rely on my computer a LOT now. This mailing list has really been most helpful and quick to help me.
