1987 Map of Monache Mountain

About this map

Monache Mountain dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Inyo National Forest and Sequoia National Forest. The 1980s terrain is defined by a vast network of meadows and seasonal water sources, including the expansive Monache Meadow and the serpentine Kern River. Significant landmarks for backcountry navigation include Jackass Peak and Granite Knob, while the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map details numerous springs such as Soda Spring and Oliuas Spring (Potable), suggesting a landscape where water access dictated movement. The survey illustrates a preserved wilderness character, with Golden Trout Wilderness and South Sierra Wilderness boundaries marking the protection of this Tulare County high country.
