2015 Map of Lost Cannon Peak

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Alpine and Mono counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits, including Antelope Peak, Wells Peak, and Fish Valley Peak, which overlook the high meadows and drainage basins of the Sierra Nevada. The hydrography of the region is centered on the Silver King Creek system, which flows through Lower Fish Valley and Upper Fish Valley, punctuated by Llewellyn Falls. These drainages have historically been vital for the area's grazing and wilderness economy. Further east, Lost Cannon Creek carves a path toward the eponymous Lost Cannon Peak, while isolated features like Change Lake and Silver Creek Meadows provide specific points of interest for researchers studying the land-use patterns and hydrology of these protected mountain reaches.
