1979 Map of Calaveras Dome

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Calaveras Dome towers over a complex landscape of hydro-electric infrastructure and high-country wilderness at the meeting point of several Northern California counties. The Salt Springs Reservoir dominates the northern reaches, supported by a Powerhouse and multiple Gaging Stations along the Mokelumne River. This late-1970s survey captures the region as a vital resource corridor, where the Salt Springs State Game Refuge and Mokelumne Wilderness provide protected habitat alongside active forest management. Settlement is sparse, represented by small outposts like Cuneo Camp, Ganns, and Cabbage Patch. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Bellfour Canyon and Long Gulch, while high meadows like Mattley Meadow and St Michele Meadow offer breaks in the timber. Notable curiosities like Shovel Grave and Pumpkin Hollow hint at the local lore and pioneer history embedded in these slopes.
