About this map

The Camanche Reservoir dominates this landscape on the border of Calaveras, Amador, and San Joaquin counties, where the foothills meet the Sacramento Valley. The map details the residential expansion near the water, particularly at Lake Camanche Ranches and South Camanche Shore, showing a complex network of modern roads like Stedman Ranch Rd and Camanche Rd that have replaced older rural patterns.

Evidence of the region's hydraulic history remains visible through labels like Poverty Bar, Oregon Bar, and Winter Bar, which sit along the northern reaches of the reservoir. The vital Mokelumne Aqueduct cuts across the southwestern terrain, bypassing the small settlement of Wallace and the junction at Goodmans Corner. The transition from the valley floor to the higher elevations of Bald Mtn and Sugarloaf illustrates the geographic boundary between the Central Valley and the Sierra Nevada foothills.
