2024 Map of Laneburg

About this map

Laneburg and the rural community of Mount Moriah anchor this detailed study of central Nevada County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of timber-related infrastructure, including Potlatch 1 and Potlatch 2, and a series of creeks flowing south and west, such as Terre Rouge Creek and Sandy Creek. For those researching local families, the map identifies several remote burying grounds including Laneburg Church Cem, New Salem Church Cem, and Serepta Spring Cem. The topography is shaped by the winding paths of Little Sandy Creek and Little Caney Creek, showing how the drainage patterns dictated the placement of early settlements and the subsequent county road system, from the northern boundary of Nevada 291 Rd down to the southern reaches of Co Rd 23.
