About this map

Ackerson Mountain and the high Sierra Nevada terrain define this landscape at the western entrance to the national park system. The map documents the intricate management boundaries between the Stanislaus National Forest, Yosemite National Park, and the Yosemite Wilderness. Remote outposts and seasonal ranching history are visible through sites like Peach Growers and Hazel Green Ranch.

The central drainage of the Tuolumne River and its forks, including the South Fork Tuolumne River, cut through the ridges. Transportation and infrastructure for visitors are noted at the Big Oak Flat Entrance Station and Big Oak Flat Ranger Sta, alongside landmarks like the Tunnel Tree near Crane Flat. High-elevation valleys like Ackerson Meadow and Aspen Valley reflect the mixed-use heritage of this transition between forest and wilderness.
