About this map

Sierra National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the southern boundary of Yosemite National Park meets the headwaters of numerous mountain creeks. The terrain is defined by a dense network of high-country trails and glacial lakes, including Lillian Lake, Walton Lake, and the Jackass Lakes. The inclusion of the Strawberry Mine provides a specific point of industrial interest within this otherwise protected wilderness area, indicating the reach of 20th-century resource extraction into the high Sierra Nevada.

Navigation through this area is largely reliant on historical routes such as the California Riding And Hiking Trl and Isberg Trl. From the heights of Madera Peak to the depression known as The Niche, the map detail focuses on the hydrological and topographical features that have long guided packers, hikers, and rangers through these meadows and passes, such as Knoblock Meadow and Detachment Meadow.
