1985 Map of Mt. Pinchot

About this map

Kings Canyon National Park and the Inyo National Forest meet at the crest of the Sierra Nevada on this 1985 survey, where the boundary between Fresno and Inyo counties follows the high ridgelines. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major alpine routes, specifically the John Muir Trail and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which share a path through this high-elevation terrain. Notable landmarks like Mt Pinchot and Pinchot Pass dominate the central portion of the map, while the California Bighorn Sheep Zoological Area on the eastern slopes of the crest indicates specific land-use management for wildlife protection.
