About this map

Rancho Murieta and the expanding southern reaches of El Dorado Hills anchor this 2012 study of the California landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal and perennial waterways, including the Cosumnes River and its various tributaries such as Deer Cr, Slate Cr, and Creuis Cr. Traces of the region's agricultural and rural foundations are visible in family-named landmarks and infrastructure like Cothrin Ranch Rd and the Carson Creek School.

Transitioning from the planned streets of Rancho Murieta in the south, the map reveals a more open landscape punctuated by named crossings and historical points like Malby Crossing and Walltown. The elevation rises toward the east at Ben Bolt Ridge, overlooking a series of creek drainages including Strap Miner Cr and Little Indian Cr. This survey documents a period of modern suburban development set against the persistent topographic features of the Sierra foothills.
