About this map

Onion Valley serves as a central point of entry into the high Sierra wilderness, marked by the Onion Valley Trailhead and Onion Valley Campground at the terminus of Onion Valley Rd. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from the valley floor to the high peaks of the Inyo National Forest, featuring notable summits such as Mount Baxter, Mount Mary Austin, and the prominent Kearsarge Peak.

Lower elevations are defined by recreational and residential settlements including Seven Pines and the Seven Pines Tract, alongside several campsites like Grays Meadow Campground and Oak Creek Campground. The landscape is etched with glacial features and alpine waters, ranging from Golden Trout Lake and Sardine Lake to the headwaters of Independence Cr. The presence of the Parker Ranch near the foothills suggests a legacy of land use that bridges the gap between the arid basin and the high mountain terrain.
