2021 Map of Duckwall Mountain

About this map

Stanislaus National Forest landscape is defined by the steep elevation changes between the Clavey River and the high ridges of the central Sierra Nevada. The map highlights a series of seasonal meadows and water sources essential to the region's historic grazing and mining activities, including Willow Meadow, Thompson Meadow, and Bull Meadow. Named points like Duckwall Mtn and Thompson Peak tower over a network of Forest Service routes that provide access to the interior. Traces of human presence and history are found in labels for Femmons and the Andresen Mine Trl near the southern edge. The lower boundary is marked by the Tuolumne Wild and Scenic River, where the terrain drops sharply at Butcher Knife Ridge and Jawbone Ridge.
