About this map

The Sierra Nevada high country serves as the literal backbone of this 2018 survey, where the boundaries of Fresno, Mono, and Inyo counties converge at the towering peak of Mt Abbot. This alpine landscape is defined by the carved basins of the First Recess, Second Recess, and Third Recess, showcasing a glaciated geography where high-altitude water bodies like Big McGee Lake and Little Lakes feed into the upper reaches of Mono Creek.

Major summits including Mt Stanford, Mt Mills, and Mt Huntington ring the deep Pioneer Basin, while historical transit corridors are marked by Hopkins Pass and Gabbot Pass. The transition between the Sierra National Forest and Inyo National Forest is clearly delineated along the crest, providing a detailed record of the wilderness boundary and the network of primitive routes like the Hopkins Spur that navigate this high-elevation terrain.
