2018 Map of Dorrington

About this map

Stanislaus National Forest blankets this high-country landscape, where the S Fork Mokelumne River and the North Fork Stanislaus River carve through deep timber and granitic ridges. The area serves as a significant recreational and residential corridor along the Sierra Nevada, anchored by the long-standing settlements of Dorrington and Camp Connell. Toward the south, the community of White Pines and the legacy of Manuel Mill point to the region's industrial timber roots, while the protected groves of Big Trees remain a central landmark. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Blue Mtn and Summit Level Ridge down to the volcanic formations of the Lava Bluffs. Numerous springs like San Antonio Spring and Million Dollar Spring feed the complex network of creeks that once supported early hydraulic mining and mountain camps throughout the Calaveras and Tuolumne borderlands.
