1986 Map of Lamont Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through this high-elevation Sierra Nevada landscape at the intersection of Tulare, Inyo, and Kern counties. The terrain is defined by prominent summits such as Lamont Peak and Chimney Peak, with a network of seasonal watercourses including Chimney Meadow Creek and Needle Creek draining the steep slopes. Human activity is localized and centered on recreation and resource exploration, as evidenced by a Campground near the creek and several prospect markings and a Borrow Pit indicating historic mineral interest. The survey shows the transition from valley floors to high ridges, where features like Grapevine Canyon and Ninemile Canyon cut through the granite landscape. This region served as a vital transit corridor for early mountaineers and modern backpackers alike, maintaining a character of isolation and specialized land use into the late twentieth century.
