Shown below is a map of the Palominas Fire District.
For a map of the Palominas School District, which
entails a much larger area (192 square miles) for the three local schools, I am
providing a link that will open the map on a new page. The map file is
rather large (about 160Kb), so it may take a minute or so to load, depending on
your connection speed. I made it as small as possible while still
retaining detail. You can load this school district map by clicking
here.
