About this map

Lake Wildwood dominates the northern landscape of this Nevada County region, where residential development and recreation center around its winding shoreline and Pine Island Beach. To the east, the historic settlement of Rough and Ready maintains its distinct identity near the Rough and Ready Reservoir, while Penn Valley serves as a secondary hub to the south. The area's water management history is etched into the terrain through a network of historic irrigation and mining canals, including the Tarr Ditch, Bald Hill Ditch, and Smith-Gordon Ditch. These features, along with prominent heights like Pilot Peak and Vandevere Mtn, illustrate the transition from early resource extraction to a modern residential and ranching landscape. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the quadrangle, from the Rough and Ready Cem to the Indian Springs Cem located near the Indian Springs Cr.
