The county has well over 100 additional named localities — ranch subdivisions, lake-shore
\nenclaves and old mining camps such as Kelsey, Volcanoville, Logtown and Grizzly Flat — that
\nhave no census population of their own and are not listed individually here. Note the spelling
\npair Grizzly Flats (the CDP, above) and Grizzly Flat (an older, separate mining-camp locality a
\nfew miles east) — the two are not the same place despite the near-identical name.<\/p>\n
