The community is situated at the confluence of the North Fork and Middle Fork of the American River, which makes it an important hydrological site. The river system provides surface flow for agricultural uses in the region, and snowpack from the nearby Sierra Nevada Mountains provides additional water resources. The area has a thriving agricultural industry with crops such as apples, peaches, and cherries. Additionally, the region is popular for recreational activities such as fishing, hiking, and camping. The area is also home to several historic sites, including the remains of gold rush-era mining towns.
