2015 Map of Dogtooth Peak

About this map

Sierra National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in the Sierra Nevada, where a dense network of glacial basins and alpine meadows defines the terrain. The presence of Miningtown Meadow suggests early human activity and resource extraction in the high country, positioned between Three Sisters and Dogtooth Peak. The drainage patterns are complex, with waters flowing through Dinkey Cr and Helms Cr, connecting a vast series of named water bodies including First Dinkey Lake, Second Dinkey Lake, and the remote Crater Lake at the northern boundary. Dozens of meadows like Ershim Meadow and Rockhouse Meadow break the timberline, providing evidence of the seasonal grazing and exploration that shaped this portion of Fresno County. From the sharp ascent at Windy Gap to the quiet waters of Mirror Lake, the map documents a geography of granite and water preserved for conservation and recreation.
