It includes the entirety of Modoc, Lassen, Plumas, Sierra, Amador, El Dorado, Calaveras, Alpine, and Mono Counties.
It contains parts of Nevada, Placer, and Sacramento Counties. In Nevada County, it contains the city of Truckee and in Placer it contains the cities of Auburn, Colfax, and Roseville, in addition to the entirety of the county east of Auburn. The Sacramento County portion includes the cities of Galt and Folsom as well as large portions of Elk Grove and Rancho Cordova. The Sacramento County unincorporated census-designated places of Fair Oaks, Gold River, Orangevale, Rancho Murrieta, Vineyard, and Wilton are entirely in the district, along with most of Carmichael.
