About this map

Camp Nelson and Cedar Slope serve as the primary human settlements in this high-altitude landscape of the Sequoia National Forest. The map documents a complex network of giant sequoia groves and mountain meadows, including the McIntyre Grove, Belknap Camp Grove, and Wheel Meadow Grove. These biological landmarks are concentrated near the Middle Fork Tule River and its tributaries, such as McIntyre Creek and Belknap Creek.

Recreational and administrative infrastructure is evident through the Coy Flat Campground and Belknap Campground, along with the Grey Meadow F S Station located near the Wilderness Boundary of the Golden Trout Wilderness. High peaks like Jordan Peak and geological features such as Hermit Rock provide orientation within this terrain, while numerous named meadows like Mowery Meadow and Coffee Mill Meadow indicate historical grazing sites or early trails used before the establishment of wilderness protections.
