About this map

Pinecrest and the surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills of the Stanislaus National Forest appear here in high detail during the early 2000s. The landscape is defined by the hydroelectric infrastructure and seasonal recreation hubs that have long supported the region. The Middle Fork Stanislaus River feeds into Beardsley Lake, where the Beardsley Powerhouse and Donnells Powerhouse mark the industrial utility of these mountain waterways.

Settlements like Strawberry and Cold Springs serve as primary points of habitation, while sites such as the Lair of the Golden Bear Alumni Camp highlight the area's history as a retreat. The map tracks a network of forest routes, including Old Strawberry Road and Crabtree Road, which navigate the steep topography between Strawberry Peak and Bald Mountain. From the Pedro Quarry to the Pinecrest Treatment Plant, the map reveals the complex management of this timber and watershed resource.
