2015 Map of Camp Far West

About this map

Waldo Junction sits at the northern edge of this landscape where the Sacramento Valley meets the foothills. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage features, including Grasshopper Slough, Best Slough, and numerous named ravines such as Albion Ravine and Fenton Ravine. This area is historically significant as the location of the Camp Far West Historical Site, situated near the banks of the Bear River. The local water infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Camp Far W Reservoir and the Camp Far W Ditch, which support the agricultural needs of the Central Valley. For those researching local family history, the presence of the Lofton Cemetery provides a specific point of genealogical interest amidst the winding roads like Waldo Rd and Spenceville Rd.
