2018 Map of Spicer Meadow Reservoir

About this map

The high Sierra Nevada landscape of Stanislaus National Forest is defined by its dramatic glacial geology and early transportation corridors. The historic Emigrant Trail traverses the northern reaches near Cape Horn, marking a route once essential for mid-19th-century westward travelers. To the south, the massive Spicer Meadow Reservoir dominates the drainage of Highland Creek, while numerous smaller alpine basins like Lake Alpine, Sword Lake, and Bull Run Lake are scattered throughout the high-altitude terrain.
