Deadwood Peak is a 9,846-foot-elevation (2,847 meter) mountain summit in Alpine County, California, United States.

Description

Deadwood Peak is part of the Sierra Nevada mountain range and is located in the Mokelumne Wilderness on land managed by the Eldorado National Forest.[1] The peak ranks as the fourth-highest in the wilderness and the forest.[2] The summit is situated Шаблон:Convert south of Carson Pass and Шаблон:Convert south of Round Top.[1] Precipitation runoff from the peak's slopes drains into tributaries of the Mokelumne River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises Шаблон:Convert above Devils Corral in 0.6 mile (1 km) and Шаблон:Convert above Summit City Creek in 2.25 miles (3.6 km). This landform's toponym was officially adopted in 1980 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, although it had been in use for 30 years prior.[3]

Climate

According to the Köppen climate classification system, Deadwood Peak is located in an alpine climate zone.[4] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean and travel east toward the Sierra Nevada mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks (orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the range.
