1990 Map of Squaw Dome

About this map

The Sierra National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, where the San Joaquin River defines the border between Madera and Fresno counties. At the southern edge, the Mammoth Pool Reservoir sits below Summit Bluff, capturing the flow of the river and nearby Mill Creek. The map documents a series of high-altitude meadows used for seasonal grazing and recreation, including Graveyard Meadow, Boggy Meadow, and Reconnaissance Meadows. Human activity in this wilderness area is marked by the Minarets FS Station and its adjacent Heliport, as well as the Jackass Rock Organization Camp tucked near the granite prominence of Jackass Rock. A network of trails like the French Trail and Reconnaissance Trail provide passage through the steep terrain, while the Ansel Adams Wilderness occupies the eastern reaches.
