About this map

Sierra National Forest high country defines this landscape, where a dense network of trails and subalpine meadows reveals a long history of seasonal transit and recreation. The California Riding and Hiking Trl and Dusy - Ershim Trl provide the primary north-south corridors, connecting a series of named openings such as Rockhouse Meadow, Ershim Meadow, and Long Meadow. These flatlands historically served as vital waypoints for pack trains and livestock moving between the peaks.

The Dinkey Lakes Trl system dominates the southern portion of the sheet, centered around high-elevation basins like First Dinkey Lake and Second Dinkey Lake. Significant landmarks such as Dogtooth Peak, the Three Sisters, and Bartholomew Peak rise above the lakes, while the presence of Miningtown Meadow hints at the area's 19th-century prospecting roots. This survey documents the preserved water network of Dinkey Cr and Coyote Cr before their descent from the western slope.
