About this map

Inyo National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in the Sierra Nevada, characterized by a complex network of glacial lakes and alpine meadows. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Piper Peak and Round Mtn down to the basins of Sanger Meadow and the High Meadows. The southern portion of the map reveals a concentrated cluster of alpine water bodies including Hidden Lake, Summit Lake, Black Lake, and First Lake.

Settlement is sparse in this wilderness area, marked by small outposts like Sky Haven and Cienega Mirth. The drainage system is particularly intricate, with the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork Shannon Canyon carving through the eastern slopes. Evidence of the region's recreational and seasonal history is visible at Logging Flat and along the access provided by Glacier Lodge Road near Big Pine Cr Sage Flat.
