2012 Map of Case Mountain

About this map

The Sequoia National Park border meets the winding corridors of the Kaweah River and its multiple forks in this 2012 survey of the Sierra Nevada foothills. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, ranging from the river banks near Hammond and Shepherd Cove to the high vantage points at Milk Ranch Peak and the Milk Ranch Lookout. Travel through the region follows historic routes like Mineral King Rd and Skyline Dr, which navigate the steep topography between Red Hill and River Hill. The settlement at Oak Grove serves as a small human footprint in a terrain carved by Grunigen Cr and Squirrel Cr, illustrating the relationship between early mountain roads and the natural drainage basins of the Southern Sierra.
