2015 Map of Sing Peak

About this map

Yosemite National Park and the Sierra National Forest meet at a high-elevation boundary defined by the crests of the Sierra Nevada. This landscape is characterized by the headwaters of the S Fork Merced River and Chiquito Cr, where glacial movement has left behind broad meadows like Moraine Meadows and Givens Meadow. Significant alpine passes such as Merced Pass, Fernandez Pass, and Chiquito Pass provide historical transit corridors through the granite peaks. The map reveals a dense network of water bodies, including the Hoover Lakes, Chain Lakes, and Spotted Lakes, which feed the various forks and creeks. This area, dominated by landmarks like Sing Peak and Madera Peak, remains largely primitive, with Beasore Rd being the primary automotive access point in the southern portion near Portuguese Cr.
