About this map

Eldorado National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Middle Fork Cosumnes River and the Bear River carve through the Sierra Nevada foothills. The map reveals an intricate network of timber and access routes, such as the Caldor Logging Rd and Ellis Rd, which traverse the dramatic topography of Cat Creek Ridge and Plummer Ridge. These roads underscore the area's legacy of industrial forest management and recreational access.

Prominent landmarks such as Peddler Hill and Prospect Rock offer clear orientation points amidst a series of deep drainages like Loggers Delight Canyon and Anderson Canyon. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the Lower Bear River Reservoir and the tranquil expanse of Foster Meadow. This survey captures the intersection of natural water systems, including Panther Creek and Prothro Cr, with the infrastructure of El Dorado and Amador counties.
