2000 Map of Sardine Peak

About this map

Tahoe National Forest dominates this mountain landscape at the turn of the millennium, revealing a network of forestry roads and historic stations within Sierra County. The presence of Lewis Mill Station and Wheelers Sheep Camp points to the area's history of high-country grazing and timber activity, while the Moore's Station Interpretive Trail at Kyburz Flat suggests a modern shift toward recreation and public land education. A complex hydrographic system is mapped in detail, where Smithneck Creek and Bear Valley Creek drain the rugged ridges of the Bald Mountain Range. In the southern portion of the sheet, the map captures the northern edge of the Stampede Reservoir spillway and the broad expanse of the Sardine Valley. Prominent peaks like Sardine Peak and Land Peak stand as sentinels over the transit corridors of Henness Pass Road and Smithneck Road.
