About this map

The high ridges of the Sequoia National Forest dominate this Kern County landscape, centered on the mountain community of Alta Sierra. The map provides a detailed record of recreation and land management within the Greenhorn Mountain Park area, noting the ski lifts at Shirley Meadows and several group facilities like Camp Yenis Hante and Camp Kaweah. Evidence of the region’s earlier resource-based history is visible through scattered industrial and settlement sites, including the Old Likely Mill (Site) and Browns Mill (Site).
