About this map

Lodoga serves as the primary settlement on this landscape where the inner Coast Ranges meet the Sacramento Valley floor. The area is defined by a series of parallel ridges, including Seminary Ridge and Clark Ridge, which channel water through complex drainage systems like Indian Creek and Lurline Creek. To the west, the East Park Reservoir dominates the valley floor near the Little Stony Sch, marking a significant point of water management for the region.

Tracing the family history of the area reveals several specific landmarks, such as the Pryor Grave and Swifts Stone Corral, alongside several unnamed Cemeteries and gravesites. The economic footprint of the mid-20th century is visible through the Mills Orchards in the southeast and the scattered Quarries along the eastern foothills. Transport across the ridges is facilitated by the Sites Lodoga Road and the VABM Grade, providing access to high points like High Peak.
