About this map

Tiltill Mountain and the surrounding high-elevation wilderness of Tuolumne County are defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and granite peaks. The landscape is carved by deep drainages like Jack Main Canyon, where Falls Cr and Tiltill Cr flow toward the lower valleys. This 2012 survey illustrates the high concentration of alpine water bodies, ranging from the large Huckleberry Lake in the north to the cluster of Branigan Lake, Middle Branigan Lake, and Upper Branigan Lake near the center of the sheet.

Peaks such as Kendrick Peak, Michie Peak, and Schofield Peak provide significant landmarks for navigating this roadless terrain. The naming of features like Miwok Lake and Moraine Ridge reflects both the indigenous history and the geological forces that shaped this portion of the Sierra Nevada. This map provides an essential record for those studying the hydrography of the region, including smaller remote basins like Otter Lake and Edith Lake.
