2011 Map of Emmet

About this map

Emmet serves as the primary hub in this portion of Nevada County, where a grid of local streets like Vine St and Hamilton Dr meets the regional transit routes. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, with Terre Rouge Creek and its tributary Little Terre Rouge Creek carving through the northern sections, while Whiteside Creek and Trammel Creek drain the south. These water sources historically influenced the positioning of local landmarks such as Snell Cemetery and the surrounding rural settlements. Evidence of local land management is found in several small reservoirs, including Rocky Mound Pond and Rolling Hills Pond, each identified by its own dam. Smaller communities such as Harmony, Sutton, and Centerville anchor the outlying agricultural areas, connected by a network of county roads including County Rd-14 and County Rd-31.
