About this map

Sequoia National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in the mid-1980s, where the rugged granitic terrain is defined by a network of meadows and seasonal drainages. The Dome Land Wilderness occupies the northeastern portion of the sheet, featuring prominent geological landmarks such as Church Dome and the heights of Cannell Peak. This environment supported a specialized forest management infrastructure, evidenced by the Cannell Meadow Forest Service Sta and scattered locations like Potato Patch.

The hydrography of the region is characterized by small, distinct water systems including Salmon Creek, Taylor Creek, and Bartolas Creek. These waters feed into numerous alpine clearings such as Big Meadow, Long Meadow, and Rattlesnake Meadow. The map also traces the jurisdictional boundary between Tulare Co and Kern Co, showing how the mountain crests dictated county lines in this part of the Sierra Nevada.
