About this map

Mount Williamson and the surrounding high-altitude terrain dominate this 2012 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by extreme elevations and deep glacial basins. The drainage patterns of Symmes Cr, Williamson Cr, and George Cr flow eastward, cutting through the granite of the Sierra Nevada. High-altitude waypoints and camps such as Anvil Camp and Mahogany Flat provide reference points along the challenging terrain leading toward Shepherd Pass.

Remote summits including Mount Tyndall, Mount Keith, and Mount Bradley create a network of peaks that surround the Center Basin. This 2012 edition documents the foot-travel infrastructure of the region, from the Shepherd Pass Trailhead to the high crossings at Forester Pass and Junction Pass. The hydrology is marked by small alpine waters like Golden Bear Lake and the Williamson Bowl, which sit amidst prominent geological features like Diamond Mesa and The Pothole.
