1956 Map of Lamont Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Kennedy Meadows and the high Sierra landscape define this mid-century survey where the South Fork Kern River winds through the prominent Rockhouse Basin. The terrain is characterized by a series of high-altitude grassy flats, including Sacatar Meadow, Lamont Meadow, and Chimney Meadow, which historically served as vital staging points for mountain transit and seasonal grazing. The map meticulously documents the rugged transition from the forested heights of the Inyo National Forest and Sequoia National Forest down toward the arid canyons.
