1956 Map of Big Meadow

About this map

Stanislaus National Forest and Eldorado National Forest dominate this mid-century landscape, where high-altitude meadows and summer camps serve as the primary human footprint. The map highlights a remote network of backcountry outposts including Mattley Cabin, Cuneo Camp, and Del Orto Camp, alongside small settlements like Airola and Ganns. The geography is defined by deep river canyons such as the North Fork Mokelumne River and the Middle Fork Stanislaus River, with significant water management infrastructure evidenced by the Salt Springs Reservoir and Utica Reservoir.
