Lancha Plana, California

Lancha Plana, California

Lancha Plana ("flat boat" in Spanish) was a small settlement in Amador County, California, formed as a result of a flatboat ferry crossing across the Mokelumne River, founded around 1849. The remnants of the town were submerged as a result of the damming of the river to form the Camanche Reservoir. Lancha Plana Bridge crosses the lake now about where the town once stood.

Lancha Plana is registered as California Historical Landmark [http://ohp.parks.ca.gov/default.asp?page_id=21390 #30] .
