2012 Map of Sonora Pass

About this map

Kennedy Meadow and the surrounding high Sierra landscape define this 2012 survey, where the Middle Fork Stanislaus River begins its descent. The map documents the vital Sonora Pass corridor along Highway 108, a route steeped in the history of trans-Sierra travel. Recreational landmarks such as the Que De Pork Resort and Deadman Campground appear alongside significant high-elevation water bodies, including the Relief Reservoir, Kennedy Lake, and Blue Canyon Lake. The terrain is characterized by massive peaks and glacial features, from Sonora Peak in the north to Leavitt Peak in the south. Notable alpine meadows and flats like Clark Fork Meadow and Chipmunk Flat indicate the seasonal rhythms of this landscape, while named gaps such as Saint Marys Pass show the traditional pedestrian and pack routes that parallel the modern roadway.
