2018 Map of Monache Mountain

About this map

Monache Mtn stands as a central landmark in this high-elevation landscape within the southern Sierra Nevada, where the Inyo National Forest meets the Sequoia National Forest. The eastern portion of the map is defined by the winding route of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which traverses a series of alpine meadows and ridges including Beck Meadow and Cow Canyon. The S Fork Kern River provides the primary drainage for the area, joined by numerous seasonal streams such as Snake Creek and Soda Creek. Local topography is characterized by a high density of named meadows, such as Bakeoven Meadow, Broder Meadow, and McConnell Meadow, which likely served as seasonal grazing or campsites. A network of primitive routes like the Monache Jeep Road and Anchor Ranch Rd suggests the continued use of this remote terrain for recreation and forestry management.
