2001 Map of Calaveras Dome

About this map

Calaveras Dome and the surrounding high country define this portion of the Sierra Nevada, where the drainage of the North Fork Mokelumne River meets the northern reaches of the Stanislaus National Forest. The landscape is a network of water management and forest service operations, featuring the Salt Springs Reservoir and its associated Powerhouse and Gaging Station. Resource extraction and land management are evident through labels for the Shovel Grave Quarry and the California Div of Forestry Fire Station. The presence of Cuneo Camp and Ganns suggests the seasonal or industrial occupancy of the area. Large meadows like Mattley Meadow and St Michele Meadow provide distinct breaks in the forest canopy, while remote infrastructure like the Weather Modification Site highlights the specialized activities occurring within these public lands at the turn of the century.
