About this map

The Stanislaus National Forest landscape near the crest of the Sierras is defined by a dense network of high-altitude meadows and drainages. Settlement centers around Pinecrest, positioned near the shore of Pinecrest Lake, and the small community of Bumblebee to the northwest. The terrain is marked by significant topographical variation, from the heights of Pinecrest Peak and Burst Rock to the deep cut of the S Fork Stanislaus River.

Transport and recreation are intertwined via an extensive system of forest routes and named paths like Crabtree Rd and the Pinecrest Lake N.R.T.. The map reveals a land utilized for seasonal recreation and water management, evidenced by Leland Reservoir and the ski runs of Dodge Ridge. Distinctive local names such as Fiddlers Green, Coffin Hollow, and Hells Mountain suggest a rich cultural history of logging or early mountain exploration in this corner of Tuolumne County.
