2021 Map of Cascadel Point

About this map

Redinger Lake and the San Joaquin River anchor the southern landscape of this 2021 topographic survey, marking the boundary between Madera and Fresno counties. The terrain is defined by the steep elevation changes of the Sierra National Forest, characterized by prominent overlooks such as Cascadel Point, Lion Point, and Castle Peak. Small foothill communities and historic locales including South Fork, Lerona, and Italian Bar are connected by a network of winding mountain roads like Minarets Rd and North Fork Road. The map documents a rugged hydrography of creeks and ridges, including Whisky Ridge and the Peckinpah Cr drainage. Significant utility infrastructure is also noted, such as the Dam 7 facility and the Transmission No. 1 line spanning the canyon, reflecting the region's role in hydroelectric power generation.
