About this map

Baltimore Town sits near the southern edge of this high-elevation landscape within the Tahoe National Forest, illustrating a region defined by its complex water management and alpine terrain. The map details a high concentration of glacial lakes and reservoirs, including Bowman Lake, Faucherie Lake, and French Lake, many of which are linked by infrastructure like the Milton-Bowman Tunnel. The Middle Yuba River flows through the northern section, passing by English Meadow as it transitions through the granite peaks of the Sierra Nevada.

Mountaineering and transit history are visible through the route of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which traverses the eastern ridges near English Mountain. The terrain is marked by distinctive named peaks such as Old Man Mtn and Haystack Mtn, while the Five Lakes Basin provides a look at the clustered hydrology characteristic of this portion of Nevada and Sierra counties. This 2015 survey reflects the modern intersection of historic resource extraction sites and protected wilderness.
