2021 Map of Split Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

High peaks of the Sierra Nevada define the crest where Inyo National Forest meets Kings Canyon National Park. This high-altitude landscape is characterized by a series of glacial lakes and dramatic summits, including Mid Palisade, Norman Clyde Peak, and Mt Bolton Brown. The drainage patterns are split by the crest, with waters such as Palisade Creek flowing west and Tinemaha Creek or Birch Creek flowing east toward the valley. The map documents a critical corridor for backcountry travel, featuring a significant stretch of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it crosses Mather Pass and descends into the Upper Basin. Notable for those tracking natural resource boundaries, the sheet also marks the headwaters of the Kings Wild and Scenic River, illustrating the protected status of these alpine watersheds.
