2018 Map of Mount Givens

About this map

Mono Hot Springs serves as a focal point in this high-elevation landscape of the Sierra National Forest. The area is defined by its complex water management and recreation infrastructure, including the Ward Tunnel and Portal Forebay, which divert water through the granite of the Sierra Nevada. The terrain is marked by significant peaks such as Mt Givens and Mt Ian Campbell, which overlook a network of seasonal routes like the Dusy - Ershim and Kaiser Pass (Snow) route. These paths reflect the seasonal accessibility of the high country. Numerous alpine lakes, including Florence Lake, Corbett Lake, and Tule Lake, are tucked into the basins between Kaiser Ridge and the S Fork San Joaquin River. The presence of the California Riding and Hiking trail and established sites like Badger Flat C.G. indicates a landscape deeply integrated into California's wilderness trail system.
