About this map

Ebbetts Pass serves as a critical high-altitude corridor where three national forests converge: Eldorado National Forest, Toiyabe National Forest, and Stanislaus National Forest. This montane landscape is defined by the winding path of the Pacific Crest Trail, which connects remote water bodies like Raymond Lake, Upper Kinney Lake, and Dorothy Lake. The terrain is punctuated by significant summits including Raymond Peak and Highland Peak, with the N Fork Mokelumne River originating in these heights.

Evidence of the region's mining history is preserved at the Silver Mountain Mineral Monument near Silver Creek. Large meadows such as Bloomfield Meadow and Milk Ranch Meadow occupy the lower basins between the canyons. This map documents a wilderness character maintained by federal forest management, highlighting the network of peaks, canyons, and alpine lakes that define the crest of the Sierra Nevada.
