About this map

Mount Dana and the surrounding high Sierra peaks define this landscape at the intersection of several protected wilderness areas. The map details the transition from the jagged summits of the Dana Plateau and Mount Warren down toward the western shores of Mono Lake. Cultural footprints in this high-altitude terrain are marked by mining history at the May Lundy Mine and the Log Cabin Mine, where associated Tailings and a Shaft are still indicated.

Recreational and administrative infrastructure is concentrated along the waterways, including the Lee Vining Ranger Sta and several sites like the Log Cabin Wilderness Boy Scout Camp. The area's hydrology is captured through numerous alpine basins, featuring Dana Lake, Gibbs Lake, and Ellery Lake. Movement through the steep canyons is documented via established routes like the Gibbs Pack Trail and Walker Lake Pack Trail, which provide access through Bloody Canyon and Beartrack Canyon.
