About this map

Liberty Hill and the high Sierra Nevada meadows define this portion of the Stanislaus National Forest in Tuolumne County. This modern survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by water and elevation, where seasonal drainages like Big Rattlesnake Creek and Beaver Creek feed into larger arteries such as the Middle Fork Stanislaus River. The topography is marked by distinctive high-country features including the Whittakers Dardanelles and the steep contours of McKee Hill.

Named meadows such as Post Corral Meadow, Shoofly Meadow, and Big Prather Meadow indicate a history of high-altitude grazing and summer range management. The network of Forest Service roads, including Hells Half Acre Road and Forest Route 6N08, reveals the modern infrastructure used for timber access and recreational transit through the canyons of the North Fork Griswold Creek. Smaller features like Bummers Flat and Rhodes Lake offer specific points of interest for researchers tracking local place names and traditional land use patterns.
