1982 Map of Dinkey Creek

About this map

Sierra National Forest lands dominate this high-country landscape, where a dense network of recreational camps and forest management sites are situated along the winding course of Dinkey Creek. The area's legacy of timber and resource management is evident through features like the Sawmill Burner near Camp Fresno and the historical location of Bretz Mill. Higher elevations are marked by granite landmarks such as Dinkey Dome and the Lookout Tower on Bald Mtn. A cluster of specialized facilities, including the Glen Meadow Work Center, Camp Mary-Y-Mac, and Camp El-O-Win, suggests a mid-20th-century landscape dedicated to youth camps and forestry operations. To the south, the protected McKinley Grove and the namesake McKinley Grove Road provide access to this pocket of the Sierra, while scattered meadows like Strawberry Meadow and Lost Meadow break the coniferous cover of Pine Ridge.
