About this map

Jenkinson Lake anchors this part of El Dorado County, serving as a central water feature surrounded by residential clusters and recreational sites. The community of Sly Park sits just west of the reservoir, while Lakewood Sierra and Sierra Springs occupy the northern and western slopes. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from high-elevation timber and mining history to modern mountain living, characterized by an extensive network of named roads and trails like Starkes Grade Rd and Ski Run.

To the south, the settlement of Grizzly Flat is marked by its post office, situated near the confluence of Grizzly Cr and the Steely Fork Cosumnes River. The landscape is deeply carved by drainage systems including Camp Cr and Hazel Cr, while land use is further evidenced by engineering works like the Crawford Ditch and the North Fork Extension Ditch. Prominent heights such as Baltic Peak and Grizzly Peak provide topographic context for the numerous gulches and canyons that define this Sierra Nevada foothills region.
