2001 Map of Emigrant Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2004

About this map

Relief Peak and Kennedy Peak anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Stanislaus National Forest, as it appeared at the turn of the millennium. The survey emphasizes the transition between protected wildlands, including the Emigrant Wilderness and the northwestern edge of Yosemite National Park Wilderness. Water is the dominant feature, with the massive Emigrant Lake and High Emigrant Lake feeding into drainage systems like Cherry Creek and Summit Creek. A small cluster of prospects near the southern boundary hints at the region's mineral history, while the presence of Sheep Camp suggests seasonal grazing activity. The map is a detailed study of remote Sierra Nevada terrain, documenting the high-country crossings at Emigrant Pass and Brown Bear Pass that have guided travel through these granite basins for generations.
