1979 Map of Boards Crossing

About this map

The North Fork Stanislaus River and Beaver Creek carve through this section of the Sierra Nevada, defining a landscape utilized for both timber management and high-country recreation in the late 1970s. The map illustrates the transition between the Calaveras Big Trees State Park and the surrounding Stanislaus National Forest, showing a network of trails and jeep tracks connecting seasonal sites. Notable human imprints include the Ski Lifts at Cottage Springs and the secluded Camp Curry. The presence of several former habitation points, such as Ramsey (Site), Brown Girl Cabin (Site), and Brown Boy Cabin (Site), provides specific coordinates for those tracing the history of early mountain camps and forest service outposts. The survey also captures local landmarks like Boards Crossing and the prominent Summit Level Ridge.
