About this map

Sequoia National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where small mountain communities like Camp Nelson and Sequoia Crest are established among a complex network of meadows and peaks. The drainage patterns of the S Fork Middle Fork Tule River and the Little Kern River define the local topography, punctuated by prominent landmarks such as Jordan Peak and Hermit Rock.

Historically significant meadows, including Log Cabin Meadow, Coffee Mill Meadow, and Smith and Failing Meadow, indicate a landscape shaped by seasonal grazing and early forestry activities. The presence of Jordan Pk L O suggests a legacy of fire observation in these timberlands. For those tracing local development, the map details the transition from established settlements like Cedar Slope to more remote features such as Burnt Corral Meadows and Grey Meadow near the Sierra Nevada crest.
