About this map

The agricultural heart of El Dorado County's foothills is meticulously detailed in this survey, emphasizing a landscape defined by orchards and vineyards. Concentrations of fruit-growing operations such as High Hill Ranch, Abels Apple Acres, and Goldbud Farms cluster along the northern ridges, reflecting the region's enduring identity as a premium apple and grape producing corridor. The settlement of Camino and nearby Camino Heights serve as central hubs, while smaller historical nodes like Newtown and Pleasant Valley anchor the southern portion of the sheet.

Water management and natural drainage dictate the layout of the land, from the El Dorado Irrigation Main Canal and New Weber Ditch to the deep incisions made by the N Fork Cosumnes River and S Fork Weber Cr. Significant infrastructure, including the Placerville Airport and the historic route of the Pony Express Trl near Mount Danaher, indicates the area's role as a transit waypoint. For genealogists and local historians, markers such as Oak Hill Cem and family-named locations like Avinsino Corner offer specific points of interest for tracing community development.
