2021 Map of Twin Lakes

About this map

Bridgeport Valley and the surrounding peaks of the Sierra Nevada define this section of Mono County within the Toiyabe National Forest. The landscape is centered on the prominent Twin Lakes, which serve as a focal point for the local drainage system including Robinson Creek and Buckeye Creek. This recent survey illustrates a network of backcountry access points, such as the Buckeye Canyon Trail and the Sawmill Ridge Route Trail, that connect high-elevation features like Tamarack Lake and the Sawmill Ridge. Geothermal activity is noted at Buckeye Hot Spring in the northern reach of the map, while the eastern portion is shaped by the Hunewill Hills and the winding course of the East Walker River. The map details various meadowlands including Upper Summers Meadows and Lower Summers Meadows, reflecting the seasonal grazing and water management patterns typical of the eastern Sierra slopes.
