The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Lockwood is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Amador County, California, United States. It is located north of Volcano and west of Amador Pines.

Half of its homes were built before 1991.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Lockwood yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Lockwood is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Lockwood has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is St. George Hotel in Volcano, 3.4 miles away.
