1972 Map of Walker Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Walker Pass serves as the central landmark for this topographic survey of the southern Sierra Nevada, marking a critical high-elevation crossing point where Freeman Canyon meets the headwaters of Canebrake Creek. The landscape transition from the high desert floor at Canebrake Flat toward the rugged peaks of the Scodie Mountains is mapped in detail, showing a network of 4WD tracks and water sources like Coyote Spring and Pilot Well. Cultural development is concentrated around the pass itself, where a Historical Marker and the Walker Pass Campground are situated near the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. Traces of local industry are evident in scattered mines, sandpits, and prospects found throughout Cow Canyon and Berts Canyon. The eastern boundary of the Sequoia National Forest encompasses much of the western terrain, providing a look at the wilderness management and survey boundaries established by the U.S. Forest Service during this era.
