2021 Map of Kearsarge Peak

About this map

Kearsarge Peak dominates the central landscape of this eastern High Sierra survey, where the steep escarpment of the Inyo National Forest meets the rugged high-country boundary of Kings Canyon National Park. The map documents a dense network of alpine trails and water sources essential for backcountry travel, including the Kearsarge Pass Trl and Baxter Pass Trl. These routes connect a series of high-altitude basins containing Parker Lakes, Golden Trout Lake, and Matlock Lake. In the lower elevations to the east, the geography transitions toward the Owens Valley via Onion Valley Rd. Small settlements and seasonal destinations such as Onion Valley, Little Onion, and Seven Pines serve as focal points for local history and recreation, while landmarks like Mt Baxter and Independence Peak define the horizon.
