About this map

The Middle Fork Stanislaus River and its sister forks dominate this high-country landscape in the Stanislaus National Forest. At this elevation, the forest is defined by clearings like Sourgrass Meadow and prominent rises such as Bald Mtn and Strawberry Peak. Settlement is concentrated along the arterial corridor that includes Strawberry, Pinecrest, and Cold Springs, areas long valued for their proximity to alpine recreation and timber resources.

Hydrological engineering is visible in the presence of Beardsley Lake and the Philadelphia Ditch, reflecting the complex management of water for power and irrigation in the Sierras. Local geography is further marked by family and place names like Fraser Flat and the curiously named Hells Half-Acre. The map also captures the extensive trail networks used for modern land management and recreation, including the Strawberry Ohv - 4x4 Trl and the Straw / Fraser Flat Rd Bike Trl.
