1972 Map of Democrat Hot Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Democrat Hot Springs sits along a dramatic bend of the Kern River, where geothermal activity and steep terrain define the local landscape. This 1970s survey, updated in the early 1990s, documents a transition between the Sequoia National Forest and the high ridges of the Greenhorn Mountains. The map reveals a network of water sources essential for livestock and settlement, from named springs like Oscar Meyer Spring and Bog Hole Spring to the seasonal flows of Poso Creek. Human activity is marked by scattered infrastructure including the French Ranch, several unnamed Mines, and the Brushy Hell Oak Flat Lookout. The presence of multiple Gaging Stations and flumes near the river indicates the historic importance of water management and hydroelectric monitoring in this steep river canyon.
