1988 Map of Cirque Peak

About this map

Golden Trout Wilderness and the John Muir Wilderness define this high-elevation landscape in the late 1980s, where the boundary of Sequoia National Park meets Inyo National Forest. The map documents a critical segment of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it traverses the Sierra Nevada, passing through the Cottonwood Pass and skirting Chicken Spring Lake. This area is a significant hydrological hub, serving as the headwaters for several major drainage systems including Cottonwood Creek and the South Fork Kern River.
