2012 Map of Ackerson Mountain

About this map

Ackerson Mountain and the surrounding Sierra Nevada highlands define this section of Yosemite National Park and the Stanislaus National Forest as they appeared in 2012. The landscape is a network of montane meadows and vital watersheds, including Ackerson Meadow and Hodgdon Meadow, which drain into the Middle Tuolumne River and the S Fork Tuolumne River. Evidence of land management and recreation is visible through sites like the Big Oak Flat District Ranger Office and the Crane Flat Lookout, alongside established camping areas such as the Middlefork Campground and Diamond O Boy Scout Camp. Historic ranching and agricultural footprints remain at Hazel Green Ranch and Peach Growers. High-elevation landmarks like the Tunnel Tree and Gin Flat sit along the winding corridor of Tioga Pass Rd, illustrating the intersection of natural preservation and early 21st-century access roads.
