2020 Map of Laneburg

About this map

Laneburg and its surrounding countryside in Nevada County are defined by a network of creeks and small family-oriented community centers. The landscape is carved by the Terre Rouge Creek and Sandy Cr systems, where the geography naturally dictated the location of early settlements and travel routes. Small church-and-cemetery clusters such as New Salem Church Cem and Laneburg Church Cem anchor the social history of the region, reflecting a rural settlement pattern that persists into the 21st century. Further south, Mount Moriah and Cale mark the lower reaches of the quadrangle, with the terrain punctuated by localized landmarks like Serepta Spring and its adjacent Serepta Spring Cemetery. The map captures the continued importance of regional roads, such as Nevada 2000 Road, in connecting these dispersed agricultural and timber-linked communities.
