2022 Map of English Mountain

About this map

Baltimore Town sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape within the Tahoe National Forest, a region defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and rugged peaks. The geography is dominated by notable summits such as English Mtn and Haystack Mtn, with the Five Lakes Basin and Sand Ridge providing a natural corridor for early transit and recreation. Water management is a primary theme of the area, evidenced by the large Jackson Meadows Reservoir to the north and numerous smaller bodies like Faucherie Lake, Weil Lake, and French Lake. For those researching local history, the Meadow Lake Cem serves as a quiet witness to the nineteenth-century mining and timber settlements that once dotted these ridges. The map also traces the modern and historic pathways through the Sierra, including the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl and the Fordyce Jeep Trl, which follow the contours of Grouse Ridge and the Black Buttes.
