Kings Canyon National Park and the Sierra National Forest meet at the high crests of the Sierra Nevada, a landscape defined by the dramatic Le Conte Divide. This high-altitude region marks the headwaters of major California watersheds, with the S Fork San Joaquin River carving through the northeast while the N Fork Kings River drains the central and southern basins. The map reveals a complex glacial topography of alpine basins and hanging valleys, notably Bench Valley and Maxson Basin.
