About this map

Camp Nelson and Cedar Slope anchor this portion of the Sequoia National Forest, illustrating a landscape defined by mountain meadows and steep drainage basins. High-elevation points like Jordan Peak and Hermit Rock tower over a complex network of creeks including McIntyre Cr and Clicks Cr. The cartography details numerous named meadows, such as Coffee Mill Meadow, Log Cabin Meadow, and Smith and Failing Meadow, which point to the historical use of these mountain flats for summer grazing or early settlement camps.

Transportation is marked by remote Forest Service routes such as Forest Rte 20S71, while the southern reaches show localized development around Coy Flat. The presence of the Big Tree Waters Tanks near the S Fork Middle Fork Tule River reflects the region's vital role in water management and forest service infrastructure. This survey provides a precise account of the rugged Tulare County backcountry at the start of the twenty-first century.
