1954 Map of Lost Cannon Peak

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape along the border of Alpine and Mono counties. The terrain is characterized by a series of steep drainages including Silver Creek, Four Mile Canyon, and Lost Cannon Creek, which flow through dramatic elevation changes marked by Llewellyn Falls. Evidence of seasonal land use is anchored at Connells Cow Camp, situated in a narrow valley between Coyote Valley and the surrounding peaks. The map details a network of high-country summits, from the namesake Lost Cannon Peak to Antelope Peak and White Mtn, providing an exact view of the hydrology and topographic obstacles encountered in this part of the Sierra Nevada. High meadows like Summit Meadow and water bodies such as Chango Lake offer specific points of reference for tracing early grazing routes and survey lines.
