About this map

Calaveras Big Trees and the Calaveras Grove stand as central landmarks in this high-altitude survey of the Sierra Nevada foothills and mountains. The landscape is defined by the deep drainage basins of the North Fork Mokelumne River and the North Fork Stanislaus River. This late 19th-century mapping reveals a network of early mountain infrastructure, where transport depended on points like Bloods Toll and river crossings such as Abbott Ferry and Parrott Ferry.
