About this map

Mount Dana and the high elevations of the Sierra Nevada define this topographic portrait of the eastern gateway to the high country. The landscape is characterized by a series of dramatic peaks and canyons, including Mount Warren, Mount Gibbs, and the Dana Plateau. Glacial legacy is visible in the distribution of high-altitude water bodies such as Ellery Lake, Crystal Lake, and Oneida Lake, which feed the drainage systems of Lee Vining Cr and Walker Cr.

Logistical access to this high-altitude terrain is shown through a network of trails and forest roads, including Log Cabin Mine Rd and the Warren Fork Trailhead. Settlement is sparse and focused on seasonal recreation and wilderness education, anchored by the Tioga Pass Resort and the Log Cabin Wilderness Boy Scout Camp. Numerous camping sites like Big Bend Campground and Moraine Campground line the corridors, illustrating the area's role as a primary destination for mountaineers and backpackers.
