About this map

Middle Tuolumne River and the S Fork Tuolumne River carve through the high country of Tuolumne County on this 2012 survey. The landscape is defined by its recreation and infrastructure, featuring several established sites like Sweetwater Campground and the Berkeley Tuolumne Campground. Near the center of the map, the small community of Harden Flat sits at the junction of the Hardin Flat Rd and the main thoroughfare leading toward the park boundary.

Infrastructure is anchored by the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct, which cuts across the northwest corner near Jones Meadow. Historically significant travel corridors are well-documented, including Old Yosemite Rd and Coulterville Rd, tracing paths that have long connected the Sierra foothills to the high peaks. Peaks like Ascension Mountain and Sawmill Mountain provide the primary elevation markers in this heavily forested terrain.
