2018 Map of Fiddletown

About this map

Nashville and Enterprise sit at the western edge of this Sierra Nevada foothills region, where the landscape is deeply etched by the various forks of the Cosumnes River. The topography transitions from the prominent Logtown Ridge in the northwest toward the high ground of Prospect Hill and the agricultural pocket of Shenandoah Valley in the south. This survey reveals a complex network of waterways, including the S Fork Cosumnes River and the Middle Fork Cosumnes River, which historically dictated the paths of travel and early industry in these gold-bearing canyons. To the southeast, the historic settlement of Fiddletown is shown alongside the Fiddletown Masonic Cem, preserving the legacy of the area's mid-19th-century boom. The presence of the Shenandoah Pioneer Cem near Pigeon Cr further highlights the deep-rooted local history within these drainage basins.
