About this map

Kelso Peak stands as a prominent high point in this 2018 survey of the southern Sierra Nevada range. The landscape is defined by the steep elevation changes of the Scodie Mountains and the winding course of Kelso Creek, which passes near several early ranching-era routes like Old Adobe Rd and Kelso Valley Rd. This region serves as a significant crossroads for recreational and government lands, where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the eastern ridges through Bird Spring Pass.

A thin finger of Edwards AFB reaches into the eastern portion of the map, abutting the southern boundary of the Sequoia National Forest. The presence of numerous named water sources, such as Cochran Spring, Willow Spring, and Mustang Spring, highlights the critical nature of water in this arid environment, providing essential landmarks for anyone tracing the historical development of transit and land use in Kern County.
