About this map

Rancho Murieta anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the Cosumnes River cuts through the transition from the Sacramento Valley toward the Sierra foothills. The region's history is preserved in small clusters of settlement and burial grounds, including the Michigan Bar Cemetery near the old site of Michigan Bar and the Live Oak Cemetery further east. A network of small airfields, such as the Van Vleck Airport and Eagle's Nest Airport, serves the open terrain between these sparse communities.

The boundary between Sacramento Co and Amador Co bisects the eastern half of the map, marking a divide through the cattle-grazing lands and seasonal creek beds of Arkansas Cr and Willow Cr. In the southeast, the small settlement of Carbondale sits near the intersection of the Ione Michigan Bar Rd and Kings Station Rd, reflecting the long-standing transportation corridors that have linked these inland valleys for generations.
