2012 Map of Shuteye Peak

About this map

Central Camp serves as a primary point of human activity in this high-elevation landscape of Madera County, defined by a network of forest roads and remote campgrounds. The terrain is marked by significant peaks and ridges, including Shuteye Peak with its Shuteye Peak Lookout and Peckinpah Mountain to the southwest. This area is characterized by numerous meadows such as Morgan Meadow, Browns Meadow, and Haskell Meadow, which suggest a history of seasonal grazing or natural clearings within the dense drainage systems of Sand Cr and Whisky Cr. Small outposts like Whites Cabin and the waterfall at Whisky Falls indicate a region shaped by both recreational use and early timber or ranching infrastructure. The intricate web of Forest Service routes, including RD 8007 and RD 8009, provides access to these isolated sites across the Sierra Nevada high country.
