1979 Map of Wolf Creek

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape of Alpine County, where the East Fork Carson River carves through deep canyons and alpine valleys. The topography is defined by the convergence of the Wolf Creek and Silver King Creek drainages, creating a network of natural corridors used for seasonal movement. Human presence is marked by isolated outposts like Wolf Creek Camp and the higher-altitude Vaquero Camp, while the Dixon Mine suggests the region's historical mineral exploration. In the southeastern corner, the landscape opens into Dumonts Meadows near the Soda Springs Station, a key waypoint along the pack trails. This 1970s survey captures the intricate network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails that provided access to the area's granite peaks and meadows before more modern infrastructure reached these interior reaches of the Sierra Nevada.
