About this map

Groveland and the adjacent settlement of Second Garrotte sit at the center of this 2015 study of the Sierra Nevada foothills. The landscape is defined by the intersection of residential growth around Pine Mountain Lake and the protected wilderness of the Stanislaus National Forest. Significant infrastructure is visible, including the Pine Mountain Lake Airport and the path of the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct as it moves across the terrain towards the San Francisco Bay Area.

South of the main settlements, the topography becomes more dramatic as the land drops toward the Tuolumne and Mariposa county line. This area is marked by a series of prominent ridges and valleys, such as Jackass Ridge, Wagner Ridge, and Wagner Valley. The map detail allows for tracing water sources like Garrotte Creek and Big Creek, alongside remote landmarks like Kassabaum Meadow and Shanahan Flat.
