On my visit to Columbia Ca., Italian Bar Rd., we learned that the area down river from the LDMA camp was called Stumbletown. It simply means that this was an area where Gold miners drank way too much Whiskey. Hence the term Stumbletown.

    On a historical note, some names and roads were changed for good reasons. I'm from the Palomar mountain Ca. area (Awesome 200' telescope) and way back when, a man named Nate Harrison hid from the civil war up there because he was black. That part of the mountain was named after him. The old maps actually showed "N-word Nate Rd." So for obvious reasons, it was renamed Nate Harrison Grade. Sometimes maps change just to respect all people and races.
