About this map

Auburn and Pilot Hill anchor this transition between the rising foothills of the Sierra Nevada and the expanding Central Valley. The landscape is defined by the significant hydrological engineering of the Newcastle Canal and Boardman Canal, which cut across the north near Mormon Ravine. To the south, the waters of Folsom Lake fill the deep drainages of the American River, reaching toward the site of Salmon Falls.

Genealogists and local historians can find specific burial grounds including the Bayley Family Cem and Pilot Hill Cem located near the town center. The area's mining history is subtly preserved in road names like Jackass Mine Rd, while topographic landmarks such as Shirttail Peak, Umbrella Hill, and Flagstaff Hill provide fixed points for tracing historical property lines and the complex boundary between Placer and El Dorado Counties.
