2012 Map of Peddler Hill

About this map

Peddler Hill rises above the high-elevation terrain of El Dorado County, defining a landscape shaped by deep canyons and seasonal alpine recreation. By the early 21st century, this area had become a key recreational corridor, anchored by the Lower Bear River Reservoir and the Bear River Resort Ski Area. The map reveals a complex network of forest roads and ridges, including Telephone Ridge and Cat Creek Ridge, which separate the various drainages of the Middle Fork Cosumnes River and its tributaries like Prothro Cr and Shingle Mill Cr. Small, specialized landmarks like Loggers Delight Canyon and Grelich Camp suggest the long history of timber management in the Sierra Nevada, while locations such as Peddler Hill Scenic Viewpoint and Lumberyard Campground highlight the area's transition into a destination for modern campers and outdoor enthusiasts.
