1987 Map of Camp Wishon

About this map

The Middle Fork Tule River and its intricate tributaries dominate this 1980s landscape, illustrating the complex intersection of public forest management and mountain recreation in Tulare County. The terrain is characterized by the convergence of the Mountain Home State Forest, Balch County Park, and Sequoia National Forest. Notable facilities like the State Forest Headquarters and the Mountain Home Conservation Camp indicate the active administration of these lands, while the presence of a Fish Hatchery near Mahogany Flat underscores the importance of watershed management. Human settlement is scattered across sites like Buck Horn Ranch and Bare Ranch, alongside numerous recreational outposts such as Camp Wishon Campground and Frasier Mill Campground. The map also documents resource extraction and wilderness preservation through labels for a Quarry, Mine Prospect, and the Golden Trout Wilderness.
