2018 Map of Musick Mountain

About this map

Shaver Lake and the high elevations of the Sierra National Forest define this 2018 study of the central California mountains. The landscape is a complex network of hydroelectric and industrial infrastructure, notably the Mammoth Power House and the engineering of Dam Six Lake on the San Joaquin River. Historical transit and extraction are evident in the trace of the S J & E Railroad Grade and the S.J. Mines located near the northern boundary. Small settlements like Camp Sierra, Rock Haven, and Shaver Lake Point provide anchor points for those tracing local development and recreational history. From the heights of Musick Mtn to the depths of Big Creek Canyon, the map preserves the names of distinct terrain features such as Kinsman Flat and Mushroom Rock, documenting a region where timber, power, and water management have long shaped the land.
