2001 Map of Koosharem

About this map

Koosharem sits at the edge of the high mountain terrain and the agricultural floor of Grass Valley in this survey updated at the turn of the 21st century. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from the Fishlake National Forest, where peaks like Monument Peak and Indian Peak tower over local landmarks such as Devils Castle and Tabernacle Ridge. This area shows a complex water management system essential for high-altitude ranching and farming, including the Magleby Reservoir and an Aqueduct feeding into the valley. For those tracing local history, the map identifies specific points of interest like the Koosharem Cem and the uniquely named Milos Kitchen. The terrain is marked by numerous springs such as Koosharem Pasture Spring and drainage systems like Greenwich Creek and Koosharem Creek, which illustrate the vital link between the forested uplands and the valley floor settlements.
