The Sierra Nevada foothills define the setting of Oak Creek Hills — rolling, oak-studded ground gives this small El Dorado County community a distinctly inland character, east of the Sacramento Valley. The area occupies the transition between the valley’s broad lowlands and the higher Sierra, where residential roads follow the contours rather than a dense urban grid. El Dorado County is closely associated with California’s Gold Rush, and its county seat, Placerville, began as a mining camp in 1848. Oak Creek Hills belongs to the growing foothill belt around the Sacramento region while retaining a semi-rural setting.
