2012 Map of Devils Nose

About this map

North Fork Mokelumne River and the Middle Fork Mokelumne River define this deeply dissected landscape in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The water system is heavily managed for power and storage, evidenced by the Tiger Creek Reservoir, Tiger Creek Forbay, and Tiger Creek Regulation Reservoir in the northwest, alongside Schaads Reservoir to the south. Local transit and settlement patterns are dictated by the terrain, with small clusters like Porter, McClain, and Cooks Ranch positioned near the winding road network. High points and clearings such as Devils Nose, Bald Mountain, and Hunter Flat serve as primary landmarks. The map also traces an intricate series of forest routes, including the Lily Gap Rd and Winton Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and water resources of this Calaveras County region.
