2015 Map of Sirretta Peak

About this map

Sirretta Peak rises as the central landmark within this high-altitude portion of the Sequoia National Forest. The landscape is characterized by a series of high mountain meadows that served as critical points of orientation and resource for early forest users, including Big Meadow, Manter Meadow, and the clustered Durrwood Meadows near Sherman Pass. These open spaces are connected by a network of Forest Service routes, such as Forest Rte 22S05A and 23s07, which navigate the complex drainage systems of Trout Cr and Little Trout Cr. The distribution of these named meadows, from Boone Meadow in the north to Little Manter Meadow in the south, indicates a historic pattern of seasonal land use and grazing common to the southern Sierra Nevada. The map preserves the specific locations of geographic crossings like Sirretta Pass and the distinctive topography of Dark Canyon.
