Mount Irvine (4281m) is a fault-block mountain in the Sierra Nevada, United States. Grade 3/5: strenuous climb with technical sections. A Sierra Nevada peak featuring granite scenery, clear high-altitude skies, and well-established climbing routes.
The topographic contour map of Mount Irvine (4281m) in the Sierra Nevada shows contours reflecting the unique geological character of the terrain. Contour lines are drawn at 100m intervals, with index contours (thicker lines) every 500m. The hypsometric color scale ranges from green (lower elevations) through yellow and orange to white (highest elevations near the 4,281m summit). Above 3,800m, the estimated snow line at this latitude, contours transition to cooler tones indicating permanent snow and ice.

The dashed blue snow line at 3,800m marks the approximate elevation above which permanent snow persists year-round.
Frequently Asked Questions
The contour map uses a hypsometric color scale where green represents lower elevations, yellow and orange indicate mid-range altitudes, and white marks the highest zones near the summit. Thicker contour lines (index contours) are drawn at wider intervals to help you quickly estimate elevation.
The contour map of Mount Irvine (4281m) uses a 100m contour interval. This means each line represents a 100m change in elevation. Closely spaced contours indicate steeper terrain, while widely spaced contours show gentler slopes.
The elevation profile is a cross-section through Mount Irvine (4281m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 4,281m. It reveals the mountain's shape, steepness, and relative height compared to the surrounding terrain. The horizontal axis shows distance in kilometers from the peak.
At Mount Irvine (4281m)'s latitude (37°), the estimated permanent snow line is approximately 3,800m. Since Mount Irvine (4281m) reaches 4,281m, about 481m of the mountain extends above the snow line. This is shown as a dashed blue line on the elevation profile.
