About this map

Stanislaus National Forest land defines this central Sierra landscape, where high meadows and seasonal springs supported early mountain activity. The remote settlement of Femmons sits near Femmons Meadows in the eastern portion of the map, while several other clearings such as Willow Meadow, Thompson Meadow, and Round Meadow are scattered across the high ground between Clavey River and Reed Cr.

Transport through this part of Tuolumne County relies on an extensive network of Forest Service routes, including Cottonwood Rd and Forest Rte 2N14. Topographic landmarks like Duckwall Mountain, Thompson Peak, and the sharply named Butcher Knife Ridge provide vertical context to the drainages of Thirteenmile Cr and Cottonwood Cr. In the south, the terrain drops toward the Tuolumne River near Grapevine Point, highlighting the transition from high-elevation plateaus to deep river canyons.
