2021 Map of Sacatar Canyon

About this map

Sierra Nevada high country dominates this terrain along the boundary of Tulare and Inyo Counties, where high-altitude meadows and canyons define the seasonal landscape. The map centers on the high plains and transitions of the Southern Sierra, anchored by Kennedy Meadows and the surrounding wilderness. A network of primitive and improved routes, including Sherman Pass Rd and Sacatar Ranch Rd, provides access to these remote reaches, while the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl winds its way through the southwestern sections across Long Valley. Numerous meadows, such as Sacatar Meadow, Big Pine Meadow, and Johnson Meadow, suggest a landscape historically valued for summer grazing and water access. These natural features, alongside landmarks like Kennedy Peak and Reinhardt Spring, reveal a geography where movement is dictated by the steep drainages of Sacatar Canyon and Little Lake Canyon.
