About this map

Yosemite National Park meets the Sierra National Forest along a landscape defined by high-altitude crests and glacial waters. The high country transition is marked by prominent peaks such as Sing Peak and Mount Bruce, with several critical backcountry corridors including Merced Pass, Fernandez Pass, and Chiquito Pass. The drainages of the South Fork Merced River and Chiquito Creek shape the descent from the jagged Buena Vista Crest, where seasonal waters feed the Hoover Lakes and Chain Lakes.

Administrative presence is noted at the Buck Camp Ranger Station, which serves the Yosemite Wilderness and the adjacent Ansel Adams Wilderness. For those tracking movement through the granite basins, the map identifies specific crossing points like Gravelly Ford and established resting spots such as the Upper Chiquito Campground. Forest roads like Sky Ranch Road and Beasore Road provide the primary access points into this protected wilderness environment.
