About this map

Bass Lake serves as the central focal point of this survey within the Sierra National Forest, illustrating a landscape shaped by water management and mountain recreation. The settlement of The Pines and the Bass Lake Annex anchor the shoreline, while high-altitude features like Taylor Mtn and Goat Mtn define the surrounding topography. To the north, Old Corral and Meserve Meadow suggest earlier patterns of land use and grazing.

Water infrastructure is prominent across the terrain, including the Browns Cr Ditch and Number Three Ditch, which channel resources through the Crane Valley. The map also details the complex drainage systems of N Fork Willow Cr and the Fresno River. This area represents a mid-decade view of the Sierra foothills, where residential pockets and forest service roads like Beasore Rd meet the expansive wilderness of Malum Ridge.
