2015 Map of Aukum

About this map

The Middle Fork Cosumnes River and S Fork Cosumnes River carve through this section of the Sierra Nevada foothills, defining a landscape of steep canyons and high ridges. Along the northern edge, the settlement of Outingdale sits near Moco Canyon, while the southern reaches are marked by the El Dorado and Amador county line. This 2015 survey illustrates the residential and agricultural density of the region, where communities like River Pines, Aukum, and Fair Play are connected by a web of rural routes such as Fairplay Rd and Mt Aukum Rd. Local water management is evident in features like the D'Agostini Reservoir and Perry Reservoir. The map provides a look at how contemporary land use follows the rugged topography of places like Coyote Ridge and Farnham Ridge, preserving the names of historic crossroads including Tylers Corner and Melsons Corner.
