2018 Map of Bunker Hill

About this map

French Meadows Reservoir and Hell Hole Reservoir dominate this high-altitude landscape where the Tahoe National Forest meets the Eldorado National Forest. The map documents a critical hydrologic and recreational corridor along the Middle Fork American River and the Rubicon River. High ridgelines like Red Star Ridge and Chipmunk Ridge separate deep canyons and alpine meadows, including Big Meadow and Gerle Meadow. Historic transit is represented by the legendary Western States and Tevis Cup trails, which cross the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Local landmarks such as Wallace Peak, Johnnys Hill, and the ford at Hales Crossing provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of forest service infrastructure and recreational geography in the Sierra Nevada.
