1982 Map of Kaiser Peak

About this map

Lakeshore serves as a key recreational and operational hub on the northern edge of Huntington Lake in the southern Sierra National Forest. The 1980s landscape is defined by the high-altitude Kaiser Ridge, topped by the 10,320-foot Kaiser Peak. This area is central to the regional hydroelectric system, as evidenced by the Powerhouse, Surge Chamber, and Ward Tunnel Road near the lake's shore. Moving north, the map reveals a network of high-country meadows and alpine lakes within the Kaiser Wilderness, including Nellie Lake and Pryor Lake. Historic sites like the Kaiser Diggings Forest Service Station and the various campgrounds—such as Kinnikinnick Campground and Rancheria Campground—point to the area's long-standing role as a gateway for mountain exploration and forest management.
