1982 Map of Dinkey Creek

About this map

Sierra National Forest surrounds a network of summer camps and specialized work sites in this 1982 map of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Dinkey Creek and its many tributaries, including Exchequer Creek and Blue Canyon Creek. A cluster of organizational camps like Camp El-O-Win, Camp Fresno, and Camp Mary-Y-Mac suggest the area's established role as a recreational retreat. For those interested in industrial history, the map identifies the Bretz Mill (Site) and a Sawmill Burner, pointing to the logging heritage of the high country. Natural landmarks such as McKinley Grove and Bald Mtn rise above the high-elevation meadows, including Strawberry Meadow and Glen Meadow, which offered respite for both cattlemen and early forest rangers.
