About this map

Toiyabe National Forest and Yosemite National Park meet along the high-elevation crests of this 2018 survey, centered on the prominent Buckeye Ridge. The landscape is defined by massive glacial features, including Little Slide Canyon and Buckeye Canyon, which channel snowmelt into the W Walker River and Robinson Creek. This quadrangle illustrates the intersection of Mono and Tuolumne counties through some of the most dramatic terrain in the Sierra Nevada.

High-altitude lakes like Peeler Lake, Barney Lake, and McMillan Lake are scattered among peaks such as Hunewill Peak and Victoria Peak. Evidence of the area's geological and human history is visible in features like Ink Rocks, The Roughs, and Buckeye Pass. The map captures the wilderness character of the region, where named landmarks like Big Meadow and Flatiron Butte serve as critical points of orientation within the expansive federal lands.
