1982 Map of Blackcap Mountain

About this map

Le Conte Divide defines the high-altitude landscape of this Fresno County survey, separating the high basins of the Sierra National Forest from Kings Canyon National Park. The region is a high-Sierra wilderness dominated by glacial features and names that suggest the character of early 20th-century exploration and ranching, such as Schoolmarm Lake, Six Shooter Lake, and Wah Hoo Lake. Human infrastructure is sparse, limited to the Meadow Brook Cabin and a Gaging Station along Meadow Brook, reflecting the area's primary use for scientific monitoring and recreation within the John Muir Wilderness.
