Description

This is the third edition of the book Place Names of the Sierra Nevada, first published in 1986.
In this book are the place names of the Sierra Nevada from the Lake Tahoe basin south to Walker
Pass.
Not included are place names within Yosemite National Park, with the exception of the names for the features on the park's boundary with the adjacent national forest. All other Yosemite names are in the book Yosemite Place Names. The origin of the names within the Lake Tahoe
Basin are in the book Tahoe Place Names. Both those books are also published by Great West Books.
Altitudes of most peaks and lakes are given, and the name of the topographical map and the
feature's location on that map are also provided. The names of the current 7.5' maps are referenced to their positions on the former 15' map series. There is an extensive bibliography.
New in this edition are two indexes: one is of those who named features, and the other of those whose names appear in the text of various entries.
