Portion of 7.5-minute 1994 map "Tioga Pass, CA," Quadrangle (U.S. Geological Survey) showing location of informally-named Sharsmith Peak
Informally-named Sharsmith Peak is in the left upper center of the map below, immediately east of the words Skelton Lakes, and on the crest of the Sierra Nevada (solid red diagonal line running irregularly from northwest to southeast) The peak is near the center of section 23 (just southwest of the 2 in 23). Along the crest, White Mountain is to its northwest and Gaylor Peak is to its southeast. The crest is the boundary between the Yosemite Wilderness of Yosemite National Park on the west and the Harvey Monroe Hall Research Natural Area of Inyo National Forest on the east, as well as the boundary between Tuolumne County on the west and Inyo County on the east. Tioga Pass--eastern road entrance to Yosemite National Park from Lee Vining--is at the lower right. On this map, the peak's elevation is not shown, but from contours can be interpreted as just over 12,000 feet altitude .For a map showing the elevation printed as a number, see "Portion of 15-minute 1956 map "Tuolumne Meadows, Calif." Quadrangle (U.S. Geological Survey) showing location of informally-named Sharsmith Peak" North is at top.
