2021 Map of Latrobe

About this map

Latrobe anchors the western edge of this terrain where the foothills of the Sierra Nevada meet the rolling plains of the Central Valley. This 2021 survey shows a landscape defined by significant water management and varied topography, from the Cosumnes River forming the southern boundary to the heights of China Mtn and Sugarloaf. The area is marked by numerous small settlements and family-named landmarks including Bullard, Dugan, and Shrub, reflecting the generational ranching and mining history of the region. Local history is etched into the land at the Bryant Cem and the Chinese Cem, providing tangible links to the diverse populations that once worked these hills. Water features like the Michigan Bar Ditch and Slate Cr illustrate the complex hydrography essential to this environment, while named ravines such as White Man Ravine and Slug Gulch hint at the rugged character of the local geography.
