2001 Map of Cherry Lake North

About this map

Stanislaus National Forest and the northwestern edge of Yosemite National Park dominate this high-country landscape at the turn of the millennium. The terrain is defined by the deep drainage of the Clavey River and the West Fork of Cherry Creek, which feeds into the prominent Cherry Lake reservoir. Human activity is evidenced by industrial and forestry infrastructure, including the Bourland Quarry and Jawbone Quarry, which supported regional maintenance within the forest. The map captures the boundary between managed forest land and the Emigrant Wilderness, where landmarks like Bourland Mountain and Hells Mountain rise above meadow systems such as Weed Meadow and Clavey Meadow. This 2001 revision illustrates the complex management of public lands, showing the network of forest roads and trails that connect remote points like Lookout Point and the dramatic Jawbone Falls.
