1956 Map of Lamont Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Rockhouse Basin and the winding course of the South Fork Kern River anchor this mid-century study of the high country where the Sierra Nevada transitions toward the desert. The landscape is defined by its extensive meadow systems, including Kennedy Meadows, Sacatar Meadow, and Lamont Meadow, which reflect a long history of seasonal grazing and water management. High peaks and granitic formations like Kennedy Peak, Chimney Peak, and the distinct Dome Land overlook deep canyons and drainage basins. Small-scale mining activity is evident through several marked Prospects and a Prospect located near Long Valley. This area, largely within the Sequoia National Forest, remains sparsely developed, with only a few Jeep Trails and the Scodie Trail providing access through the steep terrain between the Kern River and the neighboring county lines.
