About this map

Cottage Springs sits along the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the Stanislaus National Forest transitions between the S Fork Mokelumne River and the deeply carved North Fork Stanislaus River. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by its complex drainage network, including the headwaters of Griswold Cr and Beaver Cr, which are separated by prominent features like Summit Level Ridge and Thunder Hill.

Lower elevations feature pockets of naming history like Cedar Flat and Grizzly Meadow, while the ridge lines are punctuated by landmarks such as Repeater Hill and Shumake Knol. The map provides an intricate look at the Forest Service road system, including the descriptively named Hells Half Acre Rd and Boards Crossing Rd, reflecting the modern management and recreational access within these public timberlands.
