About this map

Webber Lake and the headwaters of the Little Truckee River dominate this high-elevation landscape in the Sierra Nevada, where water management and recreation define the terrain. The presence of the Webber Lake Campground and several large reservoirs including Fordyce Lake and Meadow Lake highlights the importance of the region's watersheds. The map reveals a complex network of forest roads like Pass Creek Loop Rd and Meadow Lake Rd, which provide access to numerous alpine valleys such as Bear Valley and Lacey Valley.

Granite peaks and ridges are central features, notably Webber Peak and Meadow Lake Hill. These formations separate distinct drainages, with the Middle Yuba River flowing to the west while Fordyce Cr and White Rock Cr feed the larger lakes to the south and east. Small, secluded water bodies like Mossy Pond and Buzzard Roost Lake are tucked into the higher benches of the forest, offering a detailed view of the backcountry as it appeared in the early 21st century.
