About this map

Pollock Pines serves as the focal point of this El Dorado County survey, situated where the ridge-top settlements meet the steep, timbered drainages of the Eldorado National Forest. The map documents a complex landscape of water management and topography, notably featuring the El Dorado Irrigation District Main Canal and the El Dorado Ditch winding through the terrain. These systems, alongside the Brush Cr Reservoir and Long Canyon Forebay, highlight the critical role of water infrastructure in supporting the foothill communities.

Legacy locations such as Pino Grande and Claussenius sit amidst a network of high ridges, including Poho Ridge and Peavine Ridge, which define the local geography. The presence of smaller sites like Fresh Pond, Union Hill, and Camp Five suggests a history tied to early transport and forest industry along the South Fork American River. Local roads and trails like Sugarpine Point Trl and Old Carson Rd provide a detailed view of the access routes through Brush Canyon and Jay Bird Canyon.
