Notes
  • Significance: The Rhodes Branch Ditch was one segment of the much larger Natomas Ditch System. Together they played an important role in the development of mining and agriculture in the Folsom area, which is a significant part of the history of California. While mining and agriculture have been two of the major economic mainstays of California's economy, it was and is water, transported to these industries, that allowed these enterprises to prosper. As one of the earliest and longest lasting commercially successful water conveyance systems in the western United States, the Natomas Ditch and its branches encompass a historic period extending from 1852 through the 1940's. Sections of this system still remain intact, with enough original integrity to allow documentation of large portions of this water system. These portions of the Natomas Ditch System have the potential to be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The ditch system was determined to be eligible for inclusion in the NRHP under Criterion A as a discontinguous district. In 1993, the State Office of Historic Preservation concluded that this water system meets the requirements to be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, under Criterion A as a discontiguous district at the local level. Based on documentation and other pertinent information that has been researched since then, it is our belief that this system meets these same requirements for state level of significance.
