About this map

Sirretta Peak rises as a central landmark within the Sequoia National Forest, overlooking a complex system of high-altitude meadows and drainages. The landscape is defined by its water and grazing history, evidenced by the numerous named meadows such as Boone Meadow, Round Meadow, and the expansive Big Meadow to the south. These open spaces are connected by historic routes like Sherman Pass and Mosquito Meadow road, which trace the undulating terrain of the Sierra Nevada.

Drainages including Salmon Creek and Trout Creek flow through deep cuts like Dark Canyon, while recreational sites such as the Salmon Group Camp near Cherry Hill indicate the area's modern use for forest management and public access. The map captures the intricate network of Forest Service roads and trails that serve this portion of the range, providing a detailed record of the topography between Sirretta Pass and Little Manter Meadow.
