2015 Map of Bloody Mountain

About this map

Mammoth Lakes serves as the northern anchor for this high-altitude landscape, where the Sierra Nevada crest divides the Inyo National Forest from the Sierra National Forest. The map detail follows the dramatic elevation shifts along the Mono and Fresno County line, punctuated by landmarks like Mammoth Rock and the towering Bloody Mountain. A complex network of alpine hydrology is documented here, ranging from the large basin of Duck Lake to the secluded Skelton Lake and Woods Lakes. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the southwestern sector, crossing near Cascade Valley, illustrating the era's established recreational infrastructure. Geological features such as Laurel Mtn and Sevehah Cliff dominate the eastern reaches, while drainage systems like Sherwin Creek and Cold Water Creek define the rugged local watersheds.
