About this map

Courtright Reservoir and Wishon Reservoir dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Sierra National Forest. Connected by the winding route of Courtright Way, these massive water bodies are focal points for a network of remote outposts and seasonal camps. The map reveals a cluster of specialized sites such as Chamberlains Camp, China Camp, and Moore Boys Camp, alongside lakeside recreation spots like Trapper Springs Campground and Marmot Rock Campground.

The central drainage of the N Fork Kings River carves through the terrain, flanked by significant peaks and meadows. Geodetic landmarks like Maxson Dome and Loper Peak provide navigational reference points for the surrounding backcountry. For those tracing the geography of the southern Sierra, the map provides detailed locations for smaller alpine waters such as Clear Lake, Woodchuck Lake, and Chimney Lake, as well as the transition from the Upper Box to the Lower Box canyon sections.
