The Kern River carves through the southern reach of the Sequoia National Forest, defining a landscape of steep canyons and scattered water sources. This 2018 survey documents a region where historic routes like the Rattlesnake Grade and Burke Grade navigate the dramatic elevation changes between Ball Mtn and the Greenhorn Mountains. A notable concentration of natural springs, including Democrat Spring, Oscar Meyer Spring, and the eponymous Democrat Hot Springs, suggests a long history of water-driven settlement and recreation in this part of Kern County.
