In its heyday, Iowa Hill was the principal town of Eastern Placer County. It is located on the narrow neck of a high ridge between the North Fork of the American River to the north, and Indian Canyon to the south. During the 1850s and 1860s, numerous camps flourished within a radius of five miles of Iowa Hill. Gold was discovered in Iowa Hill in 1853. By 1856, the production value of the mines exceeded $100,000. By 1880, the production value was up to $20 million. This 1888 letterhead is from A. P. Smiley, General Merchandise. About Mr. Root making wheels for Mr. Noble. State: California City: Iowa Hill HWAC#: 48146 Date: 1888
