1986 Map of Sacatar Canyon

About this map

Kennedy Meadows serves as a primary hub for this high-altitude landscape in the southern Sierras during the mid-1980s. The map details a complex network of seasonal drainages and meadows, including Sacatar Meadow, Big Pine Meadow, and Johnson Meadow, which define the local geography. Human activity is marked by the presence of a Fire Sta, a Landfill, and the remote Sacatar Airstrip near the Inyo and Tulare county line. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the eastern ridges, providing a corridor for backcountry travel. Evidence of resource extraction appears in the south with an Open Pit Mine and various Prospect locations, while the topography is dominated by peaks like Kennedy Peak and deep cuts like Sacatar Canyon.
