2018 Map of Little Shuteye Peak

About this map

The Sierra National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Madera County, defined by its granitic peaks and expansive meadows. Centered on Little Shuteye Peak and the prominent Chiquito Ridge, the area shows a dense network of forest roads and trails, including Beasore Rd and Sky Ranch Rd, which historically supported timber and grazing interests. Several distinct meadows, such as Beasore Meadows, Cold Springs Meadow, and Muglers Meadow, suggest the importance of seasonal water and forage in these uplands. High-country drainage is shaped by Chiquito Cr and Chilkoot Cr, with alpine features like Grizzly Lake and Chilkoot Lake punctuating the higher elevations. The prevalence of named landmarks like Globe Rock, Potato Patch, and Texas Flat reflects the storied history of recreation and resource management in the western Sierra Nevada.
