About this map

Spicer Meadow Reservoir dominates the high country of this 2012 survey, which covers a significant stretch of the Sierra Nevada's western slope. The landscape is defined by its massive water storage systems and recreational infrastructure, including Lake Alpine, Utica Reservoir, and Union Reservoir. Around the northern shores of Lake Alpine, a network of established sites like Pine Marten Campground, Silver Valley Campground, and the Chickaree Picnic Area mark a busy corridor for outdoor tourism.

Tracing the hydrological patterns reveals the N Fork Stanislaus River winding through the central terrain, fed by tributaries such as Wilderness Cr and Duck Cr. High-elevation landmarks like Bull Run Peak, Henry Peak, and the distinct Elephant Rock overlook the basin. Further south, the map details the isolated Twin Meadows and Gabbott Meadow, providing insight into the seasonal grazing and drainage systems of the Stanislaus National Forest.
