2021 Map of Cannell Peak

About this map

Cannell Peak and the high-elevation meadows of the Sequoia National Forest dominate this landscape along the Tulare and Kern County border. The map documents a classic Sierra Nevada terrain characterized by seasonal grazing lands and water sources, including Big Meadow, Cannell Meadow, and True Meadow. Small settlements like Pine Flat and the humorously named Potato Patch sit among the drainages of Caldwell Cr and Cannell Cr. The presence of several named peaks and domes, such as Church Dome, alongside forest roads like Cherry Hill and Taylor, reflects the region's history of timber management, backcountry recreation, and ranching. The southern portion of the map transitions into Bartolas Country, showing the descent toward the Kern River watershed through Burnt Canyon and across several township lines.
