2015 Map of Fish Camp

About this map

Sierra National Forest dominates the terrain of this high-elevation landscape where the boundaries of Mariposa and Madera counties meet. The area is defined by massive granite features and peaks, including the prominent Bald Rock, Pilot Peak, and Wamelo Rock. Small settlements are scattered along the winding forest roads, from the mountain community of Fish Camp near the Yosemite National Park border to Sugar Pine and Nipinnawasee further south. The hydrography of the region is characterized by steep drainages, with the E Fork Chowchilla River and Lewis Fork carving through the slopes. Notable landmarks like Red Rock Falls and Sunny Meadows provide specific reference points for those tracing the historical development of these timber and recreation lands. The network of forest roads, such as Chowchilla Mountain Rd and Boot Jack Rd - Ahwahnee Rd, reflects the long-standing access routes into the southern Sierra Nevada.
