About this map

California Hot Springs and Pine Flat serve as the primary hubs in this mountainous portion of Tulare County. The landscape is defined by a network of seasonal camps, corrals, and remote outposts such as McDermott Camp, Millard Corral, and Frankum Ranch. These sites suggest a legacy of high-country ranching and forestry, supported by a complex system of drainage creeks including Deer Cr, Tyler Cr, and the appropriately named Starvation Cr.

A notable cluster of recreation and historic structure exists near the southern edge, where the Eagle Hotel and Leavis Flat Campground are situated along Merry Cr. The geography is remarkably varied, ranging from Rattlesnake Ridge and Devils Thumb to the high elevations of Parker Peak and Hatchet Peak. This survey provides a clear view of the wilderness interface, where forest roads like Pothole Rd and Parker Pass Rd connect isolated peaks and meadows.
