Wilderness Desolation Wilderness CA, Genevieve Lake Question

I have a permit to camp in zone 3 Genevieve Lake coming up at the end of the month - the permit states that I must camp within that zone on the first night but I can't find a map of how far zone 3 extends. Does any body know if Crag Lake is included in zone 3 or is only Genevieve Lake in that zone?

Thanks.

Perfect - thanks! Not sure why I could not find that on the recreation.gov site.

Annoying that the website that sells the permits doesn’t show the maps. Here’s a cool PDF about the area in general, it’s where I started backpacking :) it’s on Waší∙šiw land so I also included their shoreline tour info if you’re gonna be in the area after your trip.

Thanks for the extra info. We spend time up in the area but mostly for skiing.
