About this map

Fruit Ridge and the Camino Placerville and Lake Tahoe Railroad dominate the northern landscape of this El Dorado County territory. The logging and agricultural character of the era is evident through the central Lumber Mill in Camino, while legacy gold-country features appear further south. Historic sites such as Old Fort Jim and its accompanying Old Fort Jim Historical Marker provide specific points of interest for local historians.

Water management and natural drainage define the mid-century terrain, from the North Fork Weber Reservoir down to the deep winding canyons of the North Fork Cosumnes River. Rural education and small-scale settlements are scattered throughout the region, including the Blair Dist Sch and River Sch. Distinctive neighborhoods and crossroads like Newtown, Avinsino Corner, and Pleasant Valley illustrate the distribution of residents across the foothills during this period of mid-century development.
