2012 Map of Ward Mountain

About this map

Muir Trail Ranch stands as a focal point in this high Sierra landscape, situated near where Sallie Keyes Cr and Selden Cr meet the S Fork San Joaquin River. This 2012 survey illustrates a complex network of glacial basins and alpine meadows, including Blayney Meadows and the extensive Post Corral Meadows. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Ward Mountain and Mount Shinn, which overlook a series of high-altitude lakes such as Florence Lake and Summit Lake. The map reveals a wilderness shaped by both natural drainage and modern water management, anchored by the Courtright Reservoir in the southwest. Between these waters, historic passages like Thompson Pass and Hot Springs Pass trace the routes through the granite divides of the Sierra National Forest.
