About this map

Stanislaus National Forest landscape, dominated by the Middle Fork Stanislaus River and high meadows, defines this 1970s survey. The terrain is marked by specific waypoints and seasonal habitations such as Snyder Camp and Post Corral, indicating a history of seasonal grazing or forestry management. In the northeastern corner, the Dardanelles rise above Whittakers Creek, while numerous smaller meadows like Beartrap Meadow and Shoofly Meadow are tucked into the drainage basins.

A State Game Refuge occupies much of the central and southern portions, where the complex hydrology of Griswold Creek and its north and south forks provide a primary drainage system. Localized industry is represented by a Quarry near Lily Creek, while notable natural landmarks include Cascade Falls and family-named features like McKee Hill and Payton Saddle. The presence of several pack trails suggests a landscape primarily navigated by traditional mountain travel rather than an extensive road network.
