About this map

Camp Nelson and Cedar Slope anchor the southern portion of this high-elevation terrain where residential roads like Redwood Dr and Alpine Dr meet the wilderness. The landscape is defined by a dense network of subalpine meadows, including Smith and Failing Meadow, Coffee Mill Meadow, and Log Cabin Meadow, which suggest a history of seasonal grazing and forest management.

High points such as Jordan Peak and the Jordan Peak Lookout provide vantage points over the drainage systems of the S Fork Middle Fork Tule River and Little Kern River. The map also captures several backcountry outposts and recreational sites, from the Parole Cabin in the north to the Belknap Campground and Coy Flat in the south, reflecting the area's role as a gateway for mountain travel and forestry.
