About this map

The Stanislaus National Forest landscape is defined by the steep canyons carved by the Middle Fork Stanislaus River and the S Fork Stanislaus River. This 2021 topographic map documents the intricate network of forest roads and specialized trails used for recreation and management, including the Tunnel Cr R/R Grade Trl and various routes like the Crandall Peak Ohv-4x4 Trl. High-elevation landmarks such as Crandall Peak, Mt Knight, and Grant Ridge provide significant vertical relief above meadows like Schumake Meadow and Grohl Meadow.

Tracing the historical transport routes through Schoettgen Pass reveals the persistent utility of mountain gaps like Windy Gap and Moody Gap. Cultural features are sparse in this high-altitude terrain, centered on Camp Pendola and established sites like Indian Spring. The map is an essential reference for understanding the modern footprint of the northern California woods, from the drainage of Griswold Cr to the summit at Crandall Peak.
