2015 Map of Dinkey Creek

About this map

Bretz Mill and the eponymous settlement of Dinkey Creek anchor this high-elevation portion of the Sierra National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of meadows and watercourses, including Markwood Meadow, Glen Meadow, and Nutmeg Glen, which drain into various forks of Dinkey Creek and Big Cr. This geography reflects a history of small-scale mountain industry and seasonal grazing, where named meadows served as critical navigation points and homestead sites within the high timber. Granite landforms like Dinkey Dome, Dinkey Mtn, and Bald Mtn rise above the drainage basins. Transportation is concentrated along Dinkey Creek Rd and Mc Kinley Grove Rd, connecting local points of interest like the Honeymoon Pool to the broader Fresno County backcountry.
