1990 Map of Little Shuteye Peak

About this map

Jones Store and several seasonal livestock outposts define the human footprint within the Sierra National Forest in this 1980s landscape. High-elevation meadows and grazing grounds like Muglers Meadow and Grizzly Meadow are connected by rugged corridors such as Beasore Road and Sky Ranch Road. The map documents the specific locations of several cow camps, including Topping Cow Camp and the sites of Kates Cow Camp and Swortzets Camp, reflecting the region's history of summer transhumance. Geological and recreational landmarks are prominent, from the distinctive Globe Rock to the granite heights of Little Shuteye Peak. Water is central to the area's geography, with the West Fork Chiquito Creek draining the central terrain and numerous alpine basins like Chilkoot Lake and Iron Lakes dotting the ridges. The inclusion of the McSwain Mine further highlights the varied resource use of this montane environment.
