About this map

Dorrington and the surrounding high-country settlements of the Stanislaus National Forest are documented in this contemporary topographic record of the Sierra Nevada. The terrain is defined by the steep drainage basins of the South Fork Mokelumne River to the north and the North Fork Stanislaus River to the south, separated by the prominent Summit Level Ridge.

Settlement patterns follow the main road corridors where communities like Camp Connell, Arnold, and Big Trees serve as hubs for the region's recreation and timber history. Evidence of the area's industrial past is seen at Manuel Mill, while the network of forest routes, including Blue Mtn Lookout Rd leading to Blue Mtn, illustrates the complex infrastructure required for forest management and fire observation. High-altitude clearings like French Meadow and numerous creek systems, such as San Antonio Creek and Beaver Creek, shape the local geography.
