About this map

Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through this high-altitude landscape where the Sequoia National Forest meets the Inyo National Forest. Published in the late 1980s as a provisional map, this record documents a remote portion of the southern Sierra Nevada before the formal establishment of current wilderness management boundaries. The map traces the drainage of the South Fork Kern River as it passes between the South Sierra Wilderness and the Dome Land Wilderness.

Evidence of recreational development and seasonal grazing patterns is visible through the positioning of the Fish Creek Campground, Kennedy Campground, and Troy Meadow Campground. Topographical landmarks like Pine Mountain, Bald Mountain, and Crag Peak define the terrain, while meadows such as Jackass Meadows and Dead Horse Meadow indicate historic water sources and potential grazing sites used long before the area's modern preservation status.
