2021 Map of Sphinx Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Kings Canyon National Park and Sequoia National Park converge in this high-altitude wilderness, dominated by the towering heights of the Great Western Divide. The landscape is a network of deep glacial incisions and alpine basins, where Moraine Cr and Roaring River flow through distinctive grazing flats such as Scaffold Meadows and Moraine Meadows. Significant elevation changes are marked by Glacier Ridge and the Whaleback, providing a stark backdrop to the isolated Sphinx Lakes and Big Brewer Lake. This survey illustrates the intricate trail systems used to navigate the Sierra Nevada, including the Deadman Canyon Trl and Cloud Canyon Trl, which connect remote outposts like Ranger Meadow. The terrain transitions from the steep walls of Deadman Canyon to the high plateaus of Scenic Meadow, offering a detailed view of the natural drainage and landforms within these protected wilderness areas.
