1954 Map of Lost Cannon Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape along the border of Alpine and Mono counties, where glacial valleys and steep peaks define the Sierra Nevada terrain. The map captures a moment in the mid-1950s when the region was primarily managed for seasonal grazing and water resources, evidenced by the presence of Connells Cow Camp near Upper Fish Valley. Water systems are central to this geography, from the dramatic Llewellyn Falls to the high-country drainage of Lost Cannon Creek and the marshy expanses of Summit Meadow. A series of prominent summits, including Lost Cannon Peak, Antelope Peak, and Wells Peak, form a rugged backdrop for the intricate network of canyons like Bull Canyon and Four Mile Canyon. The high-elevation basins of Coyote Valley and Corral Valley Creek illustrate the natural corridors used by seasonal travelers and forest rangers before major modernization reached these alpine reaches.
