About this map

The North Fork Mokelumne River and the Middle Fork Mokelumne River carve through the deep drainages of the Sierra Nevada foothills on this 2021 survey. The landscape is defined by the complex water infrastructure of the Tiger Cr Regulation Reservoir, the Tiger Cr Conduit, and the Tiger Cr Forbay, which trace the elevation contours to manage the region's hydroelectric potential.

Small mountain settlements and clearings like Lily Valley, Lily Gap, and Porter are connected by a network of forest roads such as Winton Rd and Bald Mountain Rd. Prominent landmarks including Devils Nose and Bald Mtn stand above the surrounding Eldorado National Forest and Stanislaus National Forest. Researchers will find significant topographic detail for the flats and meadows, such as Boston Flat and Whitmore Meadow, which have served as grazing and transit points for generations.
