This highway is called the Gold Country Highway, largely because it goes in and
around certain historic places like mines and mining towns. Downieville for example is
quite an interesting little town, since on of the things that makes this town "different"
is that there are no address numbers; everyone knows you name, that is, if you live there.
Here's a link to a little info onchecking in to one of Downieville's Inns.
This is also the state highway of all state highways in this state. In fact, California's
highway system and highway markers are represented by those of Route 49.
