2012 Map of Riverton

About this map

The S Fork American River corridor anchors this El Dorado County landscape, serving as a vital artery for both infrastructure and recreation. Historically significant sites like Riverton and White Hall are situated along the riverbank, where the El Dorado Ditch follows the contours of the valley, signaling the area's legacy of water management and industrial development. The northern reaches of the map are dominated by the Union Valley Reservoir and its associated Union Valley Powerhouse near Raffetto. Evidence of the region's earlier timber and land-use history appears in labels such as Blair Mill and family-named landmarks like McConnel Place and Potts Cabin. High-elevation fire monitoring is represented by the Big Hill Lookout Tower atop Big Hill, overlooking a terrain marked by deep ravines like Windmiller Ravine and the broad Peavine Ridge.
