2021 Map of Johnson Peak

About this map

Johnson Peak and the high elevations of the Sierra Nevada dominate this landscape, where the boundary between Sequoia National Park and Inyo National Forest marks a transition between protected wilderness zones. The terrain is defined by glacial features and high-altitude basins, including the Siberian Outpost and the Boreal Plateau. A network of historic footpaths and pack trails, such as the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl and the Siberian Pass Trl, connect the remote waters of Johnson Lake and Funston Lake with expansive grazing areas like Whitney Meadow. Along the southern reaches, the Kern Wild and Scenic River corridor provides a vital drainage for the region, fed by named seasonal flows including Golden Trout Creek and Johnson Cr.
