2012 Map of Emerson Peak

About this map

Patterson Meadow and Corporation Meadow sit at the center of this high-elevation terrain, where an intricate network of Forest Service roads such as S Warner Rd and Co Rd 42 navigate the drainage basins of the Warner Mountains. The landscape is defined by its water sources, from the headwaters of East Cr and Mosquito Cr to isolated alpine features like Lost Lake. Named peaks like Emerson Peak and Buck Mountain anchor the topography, while lower-lying areas like Homestead Flat and Bearcamp Flat suggest historic grazing or camp sites within the National Forest system. Researchers of Northern California's wilderness management can trace the distribution of specific springs, including Cold Spring and Jenkins Spring, which have long supported the region's seasonal land use and livestock movement.
