2021 Map of Marion Peak

About this map

Kings Canyon National Park defines the high Sierra landscape of this Fresno County survey, where the Kings Wild and Scenic River and the Middle Fork Kings River flow through glaciated terrain. The high-altitude topography is anchored by Marion Peak and the Cirque Crest, showing the complex drainage systems of Cartridge Creek and Kid Creek. This 2021 update reflects the modern management of these protected wilderness areas, documenting a network of established backcountry routes like the State Lakes Loop Trail and the Granite Pass North Trail. The map reveals a sanctuary of alpine lakes, including Marion Lake, Lake of the Fallen Moon, and the Glacier Lakes, while highlighting the sharp physical divides of the Monarch Divide and Goat Crest. For hikers and environmental historians, the document provides the precise location of the Muro Blanco and the transition into Glacier Valley.
