About this map

Ansel Adams Wilderness and the John Muir Wilderness converge in this high-elevation landscape of the Sierra National Forest. The map documents a complex water management and recreational network, centered around the Lake Thomas A Edison spillway and the Portal Forebay Tunnel. High-altitude settlements and stopovers like Mono Hot Springs Resort, China Camp, and High Sierra are situated among a cluster of alpine lakes including Tule Lake, Corbett Lake, and Lakecamp Lake.

Transport through this granite terrain is defined by the winding Kaiser Pass Road and the Sierra Heritage Scenic Byway, which navigate the steep elevations near Kaiser Pass Meadow and Mount Givens. For local historians, the inclusion of named landmarks such as Tennessee Point, Badger Flat, and the Dusy Ershim Ohv Route provides a precise record of late 20th-century forest access and backcountry geography.
