About this map

The Middle Fork American River and N Fork American River converge in this section of El Dorado County, defining a landscape of deep canyons and historic river bars. Gold Rush era place names are still prominent along the riverbanks, including Cherokee Bar, Maine Bar, and Philadelphia Bar, reflecting the area's mining heritage. The settlement of Greenwood serves as a central point, situated near the Greenwood Civilian Conservation Corps Camp and the winding Greenwood Cr.

Further south, Penobscot Farm and the Pilot Hill Grange indicate a transition toward agricultural and community life, while the residential development of Auburn Lake Trails marks contemporary land use. The map also documents numerous smaller drainages and local landmarks such as Summit Hill, French Hill, and Butcher Ranch, providing a detailed view of how the terrain dictates the layout of roads like Todd Valley Rd and Foresthill Rd.
