2015 Map of Caldor

About this map

Eldorado National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this landscape, where the Sierra Nevada terrain is carved by the various branches of the Cosumnes River system. The map documents a topography defined by steep ridges and deep gulches, including Gold Note Ridge and Plummer Ridge, while providing a record of the early 21st-century logging and forest management infrastructure. Small clearings and landings like Elkins Flat, Croft, and the settlement of Caldor represent the scattered human presence in this heavily wooded region.
