Pino Grande (Spanish for "Large Pine") is an unincorporated community in El Dorado County, California.
Besides the mill, there were dozens of workers cabins, a hospital, a school, cooks building, machine shops and sheds.
The mill, camp, railroad, tracks, trestles, engines, rolling stock, etc., are now long gone.
The Pino Grande Railroad traveled along a narrow-gauge track through the Georgetown Divide area.
This narrow-gauge railroad hauled vast amounts of Ponderosa and Sugar Pine timber through the rugged terrain of the Divide as well as other parts of El Dorado County.
