2021 Map of Rockbound Valley

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Eldorado National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of the Rubicon River carve through the Rockbound Valley. The area is characterized by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and granite peaks, including Dicks Peak, McConnell Peak, and the prominent Crystal Range. Historically significant backcountry routes like the Tahoe Yosemite Trl and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl intersect here, providing a window into the long-standing foot and stock travel patterns of the Sierra Nevada. Several flats, such as Onion Flat and China Flat, suggest established camping or staging points along these primitive corridors. This 2021 update preserves the nomenclature of numerous numbered and family-named water bodies, from Lake Number Five to Lake Schmidell, illustrating the intricate hydrologic mapping of the high country.
