Sierra Nevada

£9.95

Large attractive map providing an overview of the whole range and its eastern and western approaches, eg the San Joaquin Valley and the desert ranges of Nevada. Coverage extends from California City in the south east to Chico, CA in the west and Eagle Lake, CA in the north. Relief and terrain are depicted by intricate shading, with colours distinguishing, for example, forests, cultivated land, pasture and desert. Many valleys and ranges are named, and other physical features shown include seasonal and perennial rivers and lakes, springs and snowfields. Various protected areas eg. national parks, national forests and wilderness areas are indicated. Spot heights are marked in feet, and symbols depict airports, camp sites, ranger stations, visitor centres, alpine ski areas and wildlife refuges. Railways are omitted but road detail includes many minor roads and makes a distinction between paved and unsurfaced routes. Although this is not intended as a walking map, the major hiking routes such as the John Muir Trail are also marked. Latitude and longitude margin ticks are set at 1° intervals.
