1988 Map of Sphinx Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Kings Canyon National Park and Sequoia Nat Park converge in this high-altitude wilderness, defined by the meeting of Deadman Canyon and Cloud Canyon. The terrain is marked by glacial activity and seasonal meadows such as Scaffold Meadows and Big Wet Meadow. Human presence in this remote landscape is noted by back-country shelters including the Roaring River Ranger Station, Barton-Lackey Cabin, and Shortys Cabin located near the Roaring River. The intricate hydrology of the High Sierra is visible through the Sphinx Lakes chain and isolated waters like Josephine Lake and Colby Lake. The Kings-Kaweah Divide in the south provides a natural barrier between these iconic park lands, while landmarks like Whaleback and Table Mountain dominate the local relief.
