About this map

Mount Barcroft and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the White Mountains are preserved in this 2012 survey, which highlights the ecological significance of the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Area. The landscape is defined by vast meadows and alpine research sites, including the McAfee Meadow Research Natural Area and the White Mountain Research Natural Area. These protected zones underscore the region's importance for botanical and environmental study, notably around the Patriarch Tree Picnic Area and the Patriarch Grove Trailhead.

Settlement evidence is sparse, consisting primarily of seasonal sites and remote outposts such as Stone Corral, Lamb Camp, and McCloud Camp. The drainage network is intricately mapped, featuring the headwaters of McAfee Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Piute Cr. High peaks like Sheep Mountain, Piute Mountain, and Campito Mountain anchor the terrain, while White Mtn Road provides the primary transit artery through this high-elevation wilderness.
