Place: CA-Kaiser

Kaiser Peak (Kaiser Peak)  
(37.2999442, -119.1842883)

Description:
“Kaiser or Keyser: both are used locally. The name is very old, and its rightful spelling unknown. I remember hearing the old miners speak of Kaiser Gulch (a placer district) way back in 1862, the year of the big flood; but I know nothing as to the name.” (L. A. Winchell: Manuscript, 1896.)
Kaiser Gulch appears on Hoffmann’s map, 1873. From Place Names of the High Sierra (1926) by Francis P. Farquhar
