About this map

Huntington Lake serves as the focal point of this high-elevation landscape, where the recreational and industrial needs of the 1980s converged. The map details a dense cluster of youth and social retreats along the northern shore, including Camp Keola, Camp Oljato, and Gold Arrow Camp. This area represents a significant era of organized outdoor recreation within the Sierra National Forest.

South of the reservoir, the terrain is defined by steep descents toward the Big Creek settlement. The Presence of Powerhouse No 1 and a nearby Substation highlight the region's importance for hydroelectric power generation, utilizing the dramatic vertical drop from the lake. Winter sports infrastructure is also evident at the China Peak Ski Area near Chinese Peak, while the northern border transitions into the protected Kaiser Wilderness via the Kaiser Loop Trail.
