About this map

Liberty Hill and the high mountain meadows of Tuolumne County are mapped here during a period of modern resource management. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, dominated by the Middle Fork Stanislaus River and its numerous tributaries such as Campoodle Cr and Big Rattlesnake Cr. These water sources once supported a network of temporary high-altitude encampments, including Snyder Camp, Shearing Camp, and Grohls Upper Camp, which indicate a legacy of seasonal activity in this terrain.

Evidence of historical land use appears in the naming of several distinct flats and meadows, such as Randalls Meadow, Post Corral Meadow, and the curiously named Bummers Flat. Transport through this elevation is limited to specific forest routes like Hells Half Acre Rd and Silver Tip Dr. The presence of features like White Spring and Rhodes Lake highlights the localized water sources essential for travelers and those maintaining the remote camps across Blue Canyon and Little Beaver Canyon.
