About this map

The Eldorado National Forest landscape shown here is defined by high ridgelines and the deep incisions of the Middle Fork Cosumnes River and its tributaries. This 2021 survey traces the boundary between El Dorado and Amador Counties, following the divide between the Cosumnes and Bear River watersheds. High points like Peddler Hill and Prospect Rock overlook a network of logging infrastructure and forest management routes, including Caldor Logging Rd and Ellis Rd.

The hydrography of the region is centered on the Lower Bear River Reservoir in the southeast corner. The terrain is marked by distinctive named canyons and ridges such as Loggers Delight Canyon, Telephone Ridge, and Beaver Ridge, reflecting the area's history of timber harvesting. Springs like Upper Mud Spring and Mehten Spring provide important water sources in this elevated Sierra Nevada environment.
