2012 Map of Dinkey Creek

About this map

Dinkey Creek serves as the central focal point of this high-altitude landscape in Fresno County, where a dense network of forest service roads and specialized mountain camps defines the land use. The map illustrates a recreational and forestry-driven economy, evidenced by a concentration of group sites like Camp Mary-Y-Mac, Camp El-O-Win, and Camp Fresno situated near the water. Higher elevations are marked by functional landmarks such as the Bald Mountain Lookout and the Glen Meadow Forest Service Facility. Local industry and heritage are visible at Bretz Mill and the nearby Sawmill Campground, pointing to the area's history of timber management. The terrain is characterized by a series of named meadows and peaks, including Strawberry Meadow, Dinkey Dome, and Dinkey Mountain, which organize the drainage patterns of tributaries like Exchequer Cr and Providence Cr.
