About this map

Potato Patch sits at the base of a high-altitude landscape defined by vast meadows and prominent peaks in the southern Sierra Nevada. The terrain is marked by notable summits like Cannell Peak and the distinctive Church Dome, overlooking a series of clearings including Cannell Meadow, Taylor Meadow, and Rattlesnake Meadow. The drainage system is dominated by the headwaters of Taylor Cr, Caldwell Cr, and Fay Cr, which carve through the high country.

A complex network of forest routes, such as Forest Rte 22S12, provides access to these remote areas, including the expansive Bartolas Country and smaller flats like Pine Flat. The map reveals a land utilized for seasonal grazing and recreation, where smaller sites like Little Cannell Meadow and True Meadow offer specific points of interest for those tracking historical land use and trails in the region.
