About this map

The settlement of Lincoln serves as the focal point of this Placer County survey, situated at the junction of several significant watercourses and rail lines. The Southern Pacific (Marysville Line) cuts diagonally across the landscape, connecting the regional hubs and supporting the local economy. Evidence of early industry is clearly marked by a Quarry located just north of the Lincoln townsite, while rural education is anchored by the Fairoaks School to the west.

The terrain is defined by a series of parallel water systems, including Coon Creek, Doty Creek, Markham Ravine, and Auburn Ravine, which dictate the placement of early homesteads and smaller whistle-stops like Sheridan and Ewing. Genealogists and local historians can trace the specific proximity of various family plots and farms to these landmarks and multiple unnamed cemeteries scattered throughout the foothills and creek bottoms.
