2015 Map of San Andreas

About this map

San Andreas serves as the focal point of this Mother Lode region survey, where the convergence of N Fork Calaveras River and several local creeks shaped the early development of the landscape. The town site is surrounded by three distinct burial grounds—Pioneer Cemetery, Peoples Cemetery, and Catholic Cemetery—reflecting the deep-rooted community history of the area. The terrain is defined by a series of named gulches and peaks, including Chili Hill, Pine Peak, and Hogback Mtn, interspersed with modern infrastructure like the Calaveras County Airport-Maury Rasmussen Field. To the west, the reach of New Hogan Lake and the Gourley Reservoir indicate the modern water management that supports the valley. Local industry and transportation are marked by routes such as Union Mine Rd and Cement Plant Rd, which snake through the hills toward outlying settlements like Brandy Flat and Fourth Crossing.
