About this map

California Hot Springs serves as the focal point of this terrain study in the southern Sequoia National Forest. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of the Sierra Nevada, including Thompson Ridge and Lion Ridge, which separate various drainage basins. High-elevation landmarks such as North Cold Spring Peak and Hatchet Peak overlook a network of seasonal and perennial water sources like Deer Creek and the Tule River.

Evidence of historical land use and travel is visible through the placement of named gaps and saddles, such as Dead-Mule Saddle and Sycamore Gap. The transition from the high meadows of Soldier Meadow to the lower elevation drainage of Merry Cr illustrates the complex topography of Tulare County. This survey provides detailed documentation of the Forest Service road network, including Forest Rte 23S16, which facilitates access to remote camps and historical landmarks like Redwood Corral.
