1979 Map of Crandall Peak

About this map

The Middle Fork Stanislaus River carves through this central portion of the Sierra Nevada, defining a landscape dominated by the Stanislaus National Forest. The geography is characterized by high ridges and deep canyons, with Crandall Peak and Mount Knight serving as prominent landmarks. This 1970s survey documents the infrastructure of resource management and recreation, featuring the Tuolumne State Game Refuge 1-R and the Sand Bar Flat Dam. Transportation history is visible through the remnants of a Railroad Grade and the established Griswold Grade. Small outposts such as Dry Meadow Station and Camp Perdola provide evidence of human activity in the high country, while a network of named springs like Indian Spring and creeks like Soap Creek supported the seasonal movements of forest workers and travelers through Schoettgen Pass.
