1987 Map of Bonita Meadows

About this map

Sequoia National Forest lands dominate this high-altitude landscape in the southern Sierra Nevada, where administrative and recreational infrastructure centers around the Blackrock Visitor Information Sta (USFS) and the Well Work Center. The area is characterized by a high concentration of montane meadows, such as Bonita Meadows, Danner Meadow, and Paloma Meadows, which suggest a long history of seasonal grazing and water management. To the southeast, the Dome Land Wilderness protects the more primitive reaches of the terrain. The presence of a Radio Heliport and various Borrow Pits reflects the mid-century operational needs of the forest service and resource management. Drainage patterns are defined by the headwaters of Rattlesnake Creek and Beach Creek, which carve through the prominent Beach Ridge.
