1985 Map of Kearsarge Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Independence Peak and Kearsarge Peak dominate this high-altitude landscape in the eastern Sierra, where the Inyo National Forest meets the boundary of Kings Canyon National Park. The map documents a rugged network of water and trails, featuring the intersection of the John Muir Trail and the California Riding and Hiking Trail. Dozens of alpine lakes, such as Baxter Lakes, Parker Lakes, and Golden Trout Lake, are fed by snowmelt from Mount Mary Austin and Acrodectes Peak. Below the granite ridges, established campsites like Grays Meadow Campground and Oak Creek Campground serve as gateways for travelers entering Onion Valley. The presence of several springs, including Tub Springs and Boron Springs, alongside a Gaging Station on Independence Creek, underscores the critical importance of water management in this high-desert watershed.
