2021 Map of Buckeye Ridge

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest and Yosemite National Park meet along the boundary of Mono and Tuolumne counties, where high Sierra summits define the watershed. The terrain is characterized by massive crests like Hunewill Peak and Robinson Peak, separated by steep-walled canyons such as Little Slide Canyon. A network of historic paths, including the Buckeye Canyon Trail and Robinson Creek Trail, provides access to high-altitude water bodies like Barney Lake and McMillan Lake. These routes trace the drainage patterns of the Little Walker River and Buckeye Creek, illustrating the remote topography along Buckeye Ridge and Sawmill Ridge. The map documents the complex glacial geography of the region, from the prominence of Eagle Peak to the transition at Buckeye Pass.
