2018 Map of English Mountain

About this map

Baltimore Town sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape within the Tahoe National Forest, where a complex network of alpine lakes and glaciated terrain defines the geography of Nevada County. The area is marked by significant hydrological engineering, notably the Milton-Bowman Tunnel which connects different watersheds. High peaks such as English Mtn and Findley Peak overlook a dense concentration of water bodies, including French Lake, Fauchierie Lake, and the expansive Jackson Meadows Reservoir to the north. Historical travel and modern recreation routes intersect here, from the iconic Pacific Crest Trail to the rugged Fordyce Jeep Trail. The map details a transition from the meadowlands of English Meadow and Austin Meadow to the high-altitude rocky outcrops of Five Lakes Basin and Black Buttes, illustrating the diverse environments found near the Sierra-Nevada county line.
