About this map

Gilberts sits at the southern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the administrative boundaries of the Tahoe National Forest and the Eldorado National Forest meet. This terrain is defined by its massive water storage features, notably the French Meadows Reservoir to the north and the expansive Hell Hole Reservoir along the Rubicon River. The map captures the watershed of the Middle Fork American River and the complex drainage systems of North Fork Long Canyon and South Fork Long Canyon.

Strategic topographic features like Red Star Ridge and Chipmunk Ridge divide the wilderness, while named clearings such as Big Meadow, Little Mountain Meadow, and Parsley Bar provide markers in the dense forest. Significant peaks like Bunker Hill and Wallace Peak overlook deep canyons, including North Wallace Canyon and South Wallace Canyon. Local history is preserved in family-named landmarks such as Johnnys Hill and Bear Springs, which contrast with the larger-scale hydrological developments of the era.
