1982 Map of Mt. Givens

About this map

The South Fork San Joaquin River and the high peaks of the Sierra National Forest define this landscape in the early 1980s. A focal point for seasonal activity is Mono Hot Springs, situated near the confluence of Mono Creek and the river. This area serves as a significant gateway for recreation and forest management, anchored by the High Sierra Ranger Station and various camps such as China Camp and Weldons Camp. The high-altitude terrain is marked by prominent summits like Mt. Givens and Mount Ian Campbell, alongside specialized infrastructure like the Radio Facility and the Portal Forebay. Tracing the winding Kaiser Pass Road reveals the remote connectivity of the Kaiser Wilderness, where small alpine water bodies like Corbett Lake and Cunningham Lake dot the granite basins.
