About this map

Pickel Meadow serves as a central hub for this high-altitude landscape where the West Walker River and its various forks carve through the terrain of the Toiyabe National Forest. The map documents a complex network of recreational and historical routes, most notably the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl, which traverses the southern ridges near Kennedy Canyon and Leavitt Lake.

Glacial features define the topography, with numerous high-country basins holding water bodies like Poore Lake, Wolf Cr Lake, and Secret Lake. The transition from open flats such as Leavitt Meadow and Sardine Meadow to steep drops is marked by landmarks like Leavitt Falls and Sardine Falls. This 2021 survey also details the administrative boundaries between Bridgeport, the Stanislaus National Forest, and the borders of Mono, Alpine, and Tuolumne counties.
