2018 Map of Koip Peak

About this map

Kuna Crest and the surrounding high Sierra summits define the boundary between Yosemite National Park and the Inyo National Forest in this 2018 survey. The landscape is marked by extreme elevation and a network of glacial lakes including Gem Lake, Waugh Lake, and the distinctive Upper Sardine Lake. This region serves as a critical corridor for long-distance wilderness travel, where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses Donohue Pass on the border of Tuolumne and Mono Counties. Historically significant routes like the Walker Lake Tr through Bloody Canyon and various high passes such as Mono Pass and Parker Pass illustrate the enduring paths used to navigate the crest of the range. The map captures a high-altitude wilderness before the eastern drainage into Silver Lake and Agnew Lake.
