About this map

Huntington Lake serves as the central focal point for this High Sierra recreation and industrial landscape, where seasonal resorts and youth camps dot the northern shoreline. Established camps such as Camp Oljato, Camp Kern, and the Gold Arrow Camp indicate the area's long-standing role as a summer destination. Near the western dam, the settlement of Big Creek sits below Kerckhoff Dome, marking the hub of the region's hydroelectric and utility infrastructure.

The map also reveals the area's dual identity as a winter sports corridor and a historic timber resource. The Chinese Peak Ski Area and Tamarack Winter Sports Area occupy the high ridges to the south, while the Huntington Lake Lumber Company and numerous US Forest Service roads, such as 9s28 and 8s33, trace the history of land management and resource extraction across Tamarack Ridge and into Boneyard Meadow.
