2018 Map of Colfax

About this map

Colfax serves as the central hub in this Placer County landscape, where the Sierra Nevada foothills meet a complex network of ravines and ridges. The town is flanked by historic sites like the Colfax Cem and geographic markers such as Colfax Hill and the distinctive Cape Horn bend. To the south, the terrain descends toward the North Fork American River, which carves a deep canyon through landmarks like Big Bend and Sore Finger Point. The transportation corridor is well-defined, linking Shady Glen in the north through Weimar and Heather Glen to Applegate in the south.
