2012 Map of Leek Spring Hill

About this map

Meiss and the surrounding El Dorado County high country are defined by a complex network of forest service routes, including the Alder Ridge Forest Svc Rd, providing access to high-elevation vantage points. The prominence of Leek Spring Hill is marked by the Leek Spring Lookout, a critical point for fire surveillance that complements the Alder Ridge Lookout Tower further north. This landscape is deeply etched by the drainage systems of the N Fork Cosumnes River and the various forks of Camp Cr, which carve through prominent landforms like Baltic Ridge and Mill Creek Ridge. Small named locations such as Morrison and Pilliken indicate historical or administrative hubs within this timbered region. Water sources are meticulously noted, including Buckskin Joe Spring, Olyer Spring, and Ora Spring, which are vital landmarks in this drainage-rich terrain.
