2023 Map of Tunnel Hill

About this map

Quintette and the high ridges of the Eldorado National Forest define this landscape along the boundary of Placer and El Dorado counties. The map highlights a complex network of water management and transit routes, most notably the Georgetown Divide Ditch, which snakes through the terrain near Tipton Hill. This infrastructure is a direct legacy of the region's hydraulic mining history, repurposing old gold-rush era water systems for modern forestry and local supply.
