1956 Map of Lamont Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Kennedy Meadows and the surrounding high-altitude meadows define this mid-century look at the southern Sierra Nevada. The terrain is dominated by the South Fork Kern River, which winds through the Rockhouse Basin and Rockhouse Meadow. The map highlights the intersection of the Sequoia National Forest and Inyo National Forest, showing a landscape prior to heavy modern development, where access was limited to pack trails like the Sacatar Trail. Notable geological features such as Dome Land, White Dome, and Lamont Peak rise above the drainage systems of Trout Creek and Chimney Creek. This survey records several prospect locations, indicating the mining interest that persisted in these high basins. The map also delineates the high-country boundaries where Tulare, Inyo, and Kern Counties meet, providing a clear picture of the remote backcountry as it was surveyed in the 1950s.
