About this map

Eldorado National Forest defines the character of this high-elevation landscape, where the S Fork American River and Silver Fork American River converge near the mountain settlement of Kyburz. This 2015 study reveals the complex hydrology of the region, anchored by the Ice House Reservoir and a network of named waterways including Jones Fork Silver Cr and Peavine Cr.

For local historians, the map documents specific mountain meadows and flats such as Strawberry Flat, Atherton Flat, and Bosworth Meadow. Evidence of historical water management and transportation routes are visible through the El Dorado Ditch and Granite Springs Rd, which snake around prominent landforms like Sugarloaf, Table Rock, and Peavine Ridge. The survey also captures smaller place-names like Jones Place and China Flat, providing a precise look at the Sierra Nevada foothills and crest during the mid-2010s.
