1956 Map of Sonora Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Sonora Pass sits at the heart of this high-elevation terrain, where the crest of the Sierra Nevada divides the Stanislaus National Forest and Toiyabe National Forest. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, with the East Fork Carson River and West Fork Walker River carving deep routes through the granite peaks. The presence of Leavitt Sta (Site) and Connels Cow Camp indicates the area's historical use for seasonal livestock grazing and early trans-mountain travel. To the east, Pickel Meadow serves as the site for the Marine Corps Cold Weather Camp, showing the mid-century military utilization of this demanding environment. Numerous small lakes and falls, such as Tamarack Lake and Sardine Falls, are scattered across the high basins between major summits like Sonora Peak and Leavitt Peak.
