Topo Map: Region Between Lake Alpine/Ebbetts Pass and Sonora Pass

 

Main Feature(s): Though not highly detailed, this map will give you and indication of the variety of routes you can pursue through the Carson-Iceberg. The Pacific Crest and Tahoe to Yosemite only make up two of many potential routes. Individual maps within the following Lake Alpine/Ebbetts Pass to Sonora Pass section maps will provide much greater detail. There are inaccuracies in this map.

First, Spicer Reservoir now extends up Highland Creek to the Highland Trail's junction with Bull Canyon Trail on the Tahoe to Yosemite Trail. Second, this map had no trail markings, and I have roughly laid out the main trail routes and trail junctions. See the  Lake Alpine/Ebbetts pass to Sonora Pass section maps for for highly detailed mapping of the various routes.
