About this map

The N Fork Mokelumne River and N Fork Stanislaus River define this high-elevation Sierra Nevada landscape, where the Salt Springs Reservoir dominates the northern border. This 2012 survey illustrates a region largely shaped by forest service access and historical land use, with notable landmarks like Calaveras Dome and Shovel Grave marking the terrain. The settlement at Ganns and seasonal sites such as Cuneo Camp provide anchoring points for human activity among numerous gulches and flats.

Transport is centered on Old Hwy 4 and Winton Rd, connecting remote points like Saint Michele Meadow and Buck Ranch. Local history interest is found in the varied named features including Pumpkin Hollow, Cabbage Patch, and Deadman Flat, which suggest a heritage of early ranching, logging, or prospecting. The map also detail numerous water sources essential to the region, from Poison Spring to the high-country Swamp Lake.
