About this map

Sequoia National Forest defines the character of this high-elevation landscape along the Tulare and Kern County border. The area is marked by a series of distinct upland meadows and canyons that have long served as significant landmarks for navigators and foresters. From Big Meadow and Manter Meadow in the north to the more secluded True Meadow and Cane Meadow, these clearings provide a clear view of the complex drainages of Cannell Cr and Fay Cr.

Settlement is sparse, concentrated at the small outposts of Pine Flat and Potato Patch. The presence of these named localities alongside geological landmarks like Church Dome and Cannell Peak reflects a history of small-scale mountain habitation and seasonal forest use. Waterways such as Caldwell Cr and Corral Cr carve through the Sierra Nevada terrain, leading toward the southern reaches of Bartolas Country and the deep cut of Burnt Canyon.
