About this map

Sorensens and Fountain Place anchor this 2015 high-country study of the Sierra Nevada near the El Dorado and Alpine County line. The terrain is dominated by the massive crest of the Carson Range, featuring Freel Peak and its neighboring summits Jobs Sister and Trimmer Peak. A sophisticated network of drainages flows through the valleys, including Trout Creek, Saxon Creek, and the West Fork Carson River, which meanders through the broad floor of Hope Valley.

Transportation corridors are defined by the winding Luther Pass Road as it climbs toward Luther Pass, connecting the high meadows to the residential streets of Meyers in the northwest. The landscape transitions from the protected wilderness of the Eldorado National Forest to the Toiyabe National Forest, marked by distinct glacial and alpine features such as Grass Lake, Scotts Lake, and the carved walls of West Carson Canyon.
