About this map

Cottage Springs serves as a central point of activity in this high-elevation landscape, where the recreation and timber heritage of the Sierra Nevada is clearly visible. The terrain is defined by the deep carving of the North Fork Stanislaus River, with numerous tributaries such as Beaver Creek and Griswold Creek feeding the watershed. Evidence of the region's seasonal and specialized habitation is found in the scattered camps and cabin sites, including Whittles Upper Camp and the curiously named Brown Girl Cabin (Site) and Brown Boy Cabin (Site). Large portions of the territory fall under the management of the Stanislaus National Forest and the Calaveras Big Trees State Park, highlighting the long-standing conservation efforts for the area's giant sequoias. Navigational landmarks like Summit Level Ridge and Windy Gap provide orientation for those traversing the network of trails and jeep paths that crisscross the backcountry.
