1992 Map of Rockbound Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

The Desolation Wilderness defines this high-elevation landscape, where the Rubicon River and its numerous glacial lakes dominate the granite basins of the Eldorado National Forest. By the early 1990s, this area was established as a premier backcountry destination, anchored by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it traverses the eastern ridge near Dicks Peak and Jacks Peak. The map captures a high-country economy focused on conservation and seasonal grazing, evidenced by the Univ of Calif Cow Camp located near the headwaters. Notable alpine features include the expansive Lake Aloha and the Rubicon Reservoir, which serves as a significant water management point. Long-established routes like the Rubicon Trail and General Creek Trail connect isolated flats such as Onion Flat and China Flat, providing a detailed look at the trail networks of the central Sierras.
