About this map

Mountain Home State Forest and Sequoia National Forest dominate this Sierra Nevada landscape, where the Middle Fork Tule River and its various branches carve through steep drainage basins. This mid-1980s terrain data shows a specialized mountain economy centered on recreation and timber management, marked by the State Forest Headquarters and numerous camps such as Camp Wishon Campground and Coffee Camp Campground.

Evidence of early habitation and resource management appears at Old Hyte Home Picnic Area and the Mountain Home Conservation Camp. Specialized infrastructure like the Fish Hatchery near the confluence of the South Fork and Middle Fork reveals how the river system was utilized for more than just drainage. High-elevation features such as Alder Creek Grove and Burro Creek Grove indicate the specific botanical interest of the region, while labels for Buck Horn Ranch and Base Ranch suggest the persistent presence of private landholdings within the surrounding public forests.
