About this map

Mono Pass and Donohue Pass anchor this high-elevation landscape, where the Sierra Nevada crest divides the watershed into a network of alpine lakes and dramatic summits. The eastern edge of the quadrangle shows the recreational development at Silver Lake, including the Silver Lake Campground and Silver Lake Boat Launch, which serve as the primary access points for this backcountry region. From here, a series of trails branch westward toward the high peaks and glacial basins.

The terrain is defined by massive formations such as Kuna Peak, Koip Peak, and Mount Lewis, which overlook an intricate drainage system including Walker Cr and Parker Cr. Notable water bodies like Gem Lake, Agnew Lake, and Waugh Lake dot the southern reaches, while northern basins hold the Upper Sardine Lake and Lower Sardine Lake. This 2012 survey provides a clear view of the modern trail network, from the Walker Lake Trailhead to the Rush Creek Trailhead, marking the pathways used by generations of hikers through the high country.
