1953 Map of Huntington Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Huntington Lake serves as the central focal point of this mid-century survey, surrounded by established recreation and industrial sites like the Huntington Lake Game Refuge and the hydroelectric and timber operations at Big Creek. The landscape transition from the high-altitude shoreline at Cedar Crest down through the Sierra National Forest reveals a dense network of specialized camps, including the Boy Scout Camp and Camp Oljato. Higher elevations are marked by dozens of named alpine water bodies such as First Dinkey Lake and Strawberry Lake, which are interspersed between granite landmarks like Dinkey Dome and Kerckhoff Dome. Evidence of the region's logging history and resource management is visible at Bretz Mill, Byles Jamison Camp, and the Dinkey Creek Ranger Station. The presence of the Mc Kinley Grove (Sierra Redwoods) highlights the unique botanical value of the southern Sierra Nevada during this era.
