2021 Map of Balloon Dome

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The high granite landscape of the Sierra National Forest is defined here by the confluence of the San Joaquin River and its major tributaries. The dramatic topography is punctuated by prominent summits like Balloon Dome and Brown Cone, alongside high-elevation landmarks such as Mt Tom. This 2021 survey illustrates a complex network of traditional mountain access routes, including the California Riding And Hiking Trl and various specialized paths like the Pin Cushion Trl and Millers Crossing Trl. Numerous alpine meadows, including Cassidy Meadows, Cow Meadow, and Crater Lake Meadow, represent the high-country landscape patterns typical of the Central Sierra. These natural clearings, often located near water sources like Rattlesnake Lake and Hoffman Cr, provide critical context for historical land use and travel throughout the Sierra Nevada range.
