2022 Map of Folsom

About this map

The American River and the expansive Folsom Lake define the geography of this Northern California corridor, where the edges of Roseville and Folsom meet historical gold-era landscapes. The map captures a densely layered interface of modern suburban development and preserved recreational spaces, including the massive Lake Natoma and its associated landmarks like Negro Bar and Beals Point. Historically significant locations such as Prairie City, Natoma, and Folsom Junction trace the evolution of the region's transport and settlement patterns from early mining days to current academic hubs like Folsom Lake College. The intricate network of waterways, including the Folsom South Canal, Willow Cr, and the Rebel Hill Ditch, illustrates a long history of water management and hydraulic engineering essential to the Sacramento Valley. Local genealogy is well-represented through markers such as the Lakeside Memorial Lawn Cem and established communities like Orangevale and Citrus Heights.
