2012 Map of Lost Cannon Peak

About this map

Connells Cow Camp sits tucked within the high-elevation drainages of this Alpine County landscape, serving as a rare marker of human activity in an area dominated by sharp peaks and alpine valleys. The region is defined by a series of prominent summits, including Lost Cannon Peak, Antelope Peak, and White Mountain, which wall in the complex hydrology of Silver King Cr and Lost Cannon Cr. This terrain demonstrates a classic high-country meadow and valley system, where Silver Creek Meadows and Summit Meadow provide open stretches of land between steep ridges. The presence of Llewellyn Falls and Chango Lake highlights the glacial and fluvial processes that have shaped this portion of the Sierra Nevada. To the north, Corral Valley and Coyote Valley create a natural corridor through the highlands, illustrating the traditional pathways through which seasonal livestock and water move across this rugged interior.
