2012 Map of Casa Vieja Meadows

About this map

Casa Vieja Meadows and its surrounding high-elevation basins define this 2012 survey of Tulare County. The map details a landscape managed for both recreation and preservation, centered on the Casa Vieja Meadows Forest Service Facility. This region is characterized by a series of distinct clearings such as Bog Hole Meadow, Beer Keg Meadow, and Lion Meadows, connected by an intricate network of Forest Service routes including Forest Rte 20S20. The Kern River flows through the western portion of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries like Ninemile Cr and Soda Cr. High points such as Blackrock Mountain and Doc Peak watch over a terrain dotted with seasonal outposts like Painter Camp. The presence of Jordan Hot Springs suggests the geothermal activity inherent to this part of the Sierra Nevada.
