About this map

The Strawberry Mine stands as a focal point of industrial history in this high-altitude landscape of eastern Madera County, surrounded by various prospects and tailings that indicate past mineral exploration. This 1990s record of the Sierra National Forest documents a transition in land use, where mining infrastructure exists alongside a developed recreational network within the Ansel Adams Wilderness. High-country trails connect dozens of alpine water bodies, including Lillian Lake, the Fernandez Lakes, and the Cora Lakes.

Administrative and visitor services are concentrated around Clover Meadow, featuring the Clover Meadow Ranger Station and nearby campsites. The map provides a detailed view of the backcountry access routes, such as Beasore Road and Minarets Road, which serve as the primary conduits for both the historic timber/mining interests and modern wilderness management. Notable peaks like Madera Peak and Timber Knob anchor the topography, while solitary structures like Chetwood Cabin reflect the area's isolated human presence.
