About this map

Mokelumne Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Eldorado National Forest and Stanislaus National Forest. The map documents a rugged interior where the N Fork Mokelumne River carves through deep terrain, flanked by significant landmarks like Mt Reba and the vast Lake Valley. The presence of historic routes like the Carson Emigrant N.R.T. Trl and various 4WD paths such as the Pardoe 4wd Trl illustrates the region's long-standing use as a transit corridor through the Sierra Nevada.

Water is central to the topography here, with numerous small alpine lakes including Beebe Lake, Black Rock Lake, and Mosquito Lake scattered across the ridges. Named meadows such as Ladeux Meadow and Munson Meadow suggest pocketed areas of grazing or seasonal base camps. The complex boundary lines between Amador Co, Alpine Co, and Calaveras Co converge in these mountains, marking a high-country junction of county jurisdictions.
