Names for Miners Village streets are taken from Mother Lode mines and mining sites.  The entrance street for the village is Tunnel Hill, indicating hardrock mining in the Sierras.  Dry Diggings, the cross street, refers to the early placer mining, the first widespread type of mining in areas without a nearby water supply.  Cul-de-sacs are all names of actual mines or mining sites in the Mother Lode; placer, hydraulic and hardrock mines are all represented.

Miners Village  honors the people who did the back-breaking work of digging for gold.  From many parts of the world they came to California during the Gold Rush in hopes of making a fortune or building a new life.  Many found nothing but endless labor, discomfort, disease, and misery.  A lucky few found what they sought.

The Mother Lode is dotted with the remains of mines.  Grassy mounds indicate placer tailings; scarred hillsides dramatically show the destructive force of hydraulic mining; an occasional headframe rears up, marking the entrance to a hardrock mine with its tunnels below.  Thousands of people labored and died here.  They are gone, but the evidence of their work remains.  The mines are their monuments.
