2021 Map of Webber Peak

About this map

Henness Pass serves as a central geographic and historical axis in this high-elevation region of the Tahoe National Forest. The map documents a complex network of transportation routes, including the historic Henness Pass Rd and the Old Henness Pass Trl, which follow the divide between the Middle Yuba River and the Little Truckee River watersheds. Significant alpine water bodies like Webber Lake and the larger Fordyce Lake are prominent, while smaller features such as Sand Ridge Lake and Buzzard Roost Lake dot the higher ridges. The landscape is characterized by its broad mountain meadows, such as French Meadow, Coppins Meadow, and Perazzo Meadows, which likely supported early seasonal grazing. Modern recreational corridors are well-established here, most notably the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it winds north past Webber Peak and through the granite terrain above Bear Valley.
