About this map

Little Shuteye Peak and the high drainage basins of Chiquito Creek characterize this high-elevation landscape within the Sierra National Forest. The map documents a land of seasonal use and specialized resource extraction, evidenced by the distribution of summer livestock operations like Topping Cow Camp and Ryans Cow Camp. These camps, along with historical sites such as Kates Cow Camp (Site), reflect the long-standing grazing culture of the Sierra Nevada.

Resource interests are further marked by the McSwain Mine and a network of unimproved roads including Sky Ranch Road and Beasore Road. Natural landmarks provide key navigational points, from the distinct Globe Rock to the remote waters of Chilkoot Lake and Iron Lakes. The geography is defined by a succession of high-altitude meadows, including Muglers Meadow and Cold Springs Meadow, which served as vital open ground for travelers and stockmen moving through Little Shuteye Pass.
