2015 Map of Stanislaus

About this map

Stanislaus National Forest anchors this Sierra Nevada landscape, where the N Fork Stanislaus River and Middle Fork Stanislaus River carve through deep canyons. The settlement pattern is concentrated in the western reaches, with residential clusters like Ebbetts Pass Highlands, Lakemont Pines, and Hathaway Pines showing the area's development. Local infrastructure for water management is evident through the winding path of the Utica Ditch and several impoundments including Hunter Reservoir and Fly-in Acres Reservoir. To the east, the terrain becomes more dominated by the timbered slopes of the national forest, marked by landmarks such as McCormick Meadows and McKay. The technical footprint of the regional water and power system is represented by the Stanislaus Tunnel near the confluence of Griswold Cr and the main river, while the tiny settlement of Stanislaus sits near the southern boundary at Clark Flat.
