About this map

Hobart Mills stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Nevada County, situated amidst a landscape defined by significant water management and recreational infrastructure. The northern reaches are dominated by the Stampede Reservoir, fed by the Little Truckee River, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by the Prosser Creek Reservoir. These reservoirs, along with the smaller Hobart Reservoir, illustrate the historical and ongoing importance of water storage in the Sierra Nevada foothills.

Local topography like the Sagehen Hills and Billy Hill provides a backdrop for a network of forest roads including Sage Hen Rd and Dog Valley Rd. The area is a center for mountain recreation, evidenced by numerous sites such as the Donner Camp Picnic Area, Lakeside Campground, and the Annie McCloud Campground. Notable landmarks like Kyburz Flat and the Woodchoppers Spring offer specific points of interest for those tracing the local geography and historical land use of this region.
