Our geographic footprint primarily encompasses the historic town of Foresthill itself, a locale rich with a legacy dating back to the Gold Rush era, alongside the surrounding rural and forested areas. This expansive region, characterized by its natural beauty and outdoor opportunities, lies conveniently east of the bustling city of Auburn, acting as a gateway to the Tahoe National Forest. Residents in communities stretching along the Foresthill Divide, from the outskirts of Auburn canyon to the more remote reaches near Mosquito Ridge, are all part of the vibrant tapestry that defines our district's coverage, fostering a unique sense of belonging amidst the grandeur of Northern California's natural landscape.
