About this map

Sirretta Pk rises as the central landmark of this high-elevation landscape within the Sequoia National Forest, surveyed in the mid-1980s. The terrain is defined by a network of meadows and seasonal drainages, including Sirretta Meadows, Durrwood Meadows, and Woodpecker Meadow. These open spaces are connected by a system of trails and unimproved roads that navigate between ridges and peaks like Cherry Hill and through gaps such as Sherman Pass.

The presence of the Salmon Creek Campground and numerous trails suggests the area's role in forest recreation and management during this era. High-altitude water systems are prominent, with Trout Creek and Little Trout Creek carving through the Wilderness and Dome Land Wilderness areas. This 1987 provisional edition documents the precise topography of the southern Sierra Nevada, capturing the relationship between named landmarks like Tibbets and the surrounding forest infrastructure.
