2021 Map of Stanislaus

About this map

Arnold and Hathaway Pines sit along the northwestern edge of this landscape, marking a transition from residential developments into the dense timber of the Stanislaus National Forest. The geography is defined by a series of steep drainages, most notably the Middle Fork Stanislaus River and the North Fork Stanislaus River, which converge near the southern settlement of Stanislaus. Water management for power and irrigation is evident through the winding path of the Utica Ditch and its associated Utica Ditch Road, alongside mountain reservoirs like Fly in Acres Reservoir and Pinebrook Reservoir. Extensive forest road networks, such as Forest Rte 5N35 and Forest Rte 4N04, penetrate the higher elevations of Doud Hill and McKays Point, providing access to remote locations like McCormick Meadows.
