2001 Map of Sonora Pass

About this map

Kennedy Meadow sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape where the Stanislaus National Forest meets the crest of the Sierra Nevada. This 2001 revision illustrates a region defined by protected wilderness boundaries, including the Carson Iceberg Wilderness and the Emigrant Wilderness. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern portion of the map, crossing Sonora Pass near Sonora Peak and Leavitt Peak. Significant water management and natural hydrology are evident, from the Relief Reservoir on Relief Creek to the high alpine Kennedy Lake and Deadman Lake. The terrain is marked by remote peaks and meadows, with small outposts like Chipmunk Flat and a Prospect near the western edge indicating the thin human footprint in this alpine environment.
