2021 Map of Nelson Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Sierra National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where numerous meadows and alpine lakes are interconnected by a network of historic trails. The map highlights specialized terrain features such as McKinley Grove in the southwest and the prominent peaks of Nelson Mtn and Bear Mtn. The hydrography of the region is defined by the headwaters of Dinkey Cr and Deer Cr, which feed into various glacial basins including Nelson Lakes and Virginia Lake. Extensive meadows like Arkansas Meadow, Exchequer Meadow, and Snow Corral Meadow suggest a long history of seasonal grazing and backcountry activity. This survey captures the region's wilderness character as it appeared in the early 21st century, detailing the access routes like the Swamp Trl and Dinkey Lakes Trl that facilitate movement through the high granite country.
