Eldorado National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape where the Rubicon River and its south fork carve through the Sierras. This 2015 survey captures the critical water infrastructure of the region, anchored by the Union Valley Reservoir at the southern edge and the Gerle Cr Divide Reservoir to the northeast. Historical travel routes across the river are marked by the Ellicott Bridge and South Fork Bridge, providing essential crossings in a terrain dominated by peaks and ridges. Notable summits like Robbs Peak and Hartless Mtn overlook protected meadows and valleys such as Butler Meadow and Hunters Valley. The map detail includes the network of Forest Service roads including Wentworth Springs Rd and Eleven Pines Rd, which provide access to this managed wilderness.
