2012 Map of Pilot Hill

About this map

Folsom Lake dominates the central landscape of this western Sierra foothill region, its waters filling deeply carved features like Mormon Ravine, Kelly Ravine, and Granite Ravine. The map documents a sophisticated water management network vital to the area's development, including the Boardman Canal, the N Newcastle Canal, and the N North Fork Ditch, which trace the contours of the rising terrain. Along the eastern edge, the settlement of Pilot Hill sits near the base of Umbrella Hill, while the western border shows the residential growth of Newcastle and Loomis. To the south, the S Fork American River enters the lake near the Salmon Falls Bridge, a focal point for the small community at Zee Estates. Notable local landmarks like Shirttail Peak and the evocative Jackass Mine Rd reflect the area's rugged mining and agricultural heritage.
