2021 Map of Kibbie Lake

About this map

Yosemite National Park and Stanislaus National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Tuolumne River watershed take shape. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes between Cherry Creek Canyon and prominent summits like Mercur Peak and Bartlett Peak. Numerous alpine basins hold remote water bodies including Yellowhammer Lake, Pruett Lake, and the namesake Kibbie Lake. The map reveals a primitive transportation network consisting of named routes like the Huckleberry Trl and various unnamed trails that navigate the steep grades of Kibbie Ridge and Moraine Ridge. Natural features such as Lord Meadow and Sachse Spring provide rare level ground and water sources in a region dominated by granite peaks and deep drainage systems like Kendrick Cr and Eleanor Cr.
