2015 Map of Dennison Peak

About this map

Sequoia National Park and Sequoia National Forest dominate this high-elevation landscape in the Sierra Nevada range. The topography is defined by the drainages of the S Fork Kaweah River to the north and the N Fork Tule River to the south, separated by prominent landforms such as Blue Ridge and Dennison Ridge. The map details the remote transition from deep canyons like Devils Canyon and Putman Canyon to significant summits including Dennison Peak and Cahoon Mtn. Human access is traced through narrow mountain corridors such as Upper Grouse Valley Rd and Balch Park Rd, which serve the high meadows and valleys like Grouse Valley. This survey captures the complex drainage systems and ridges that characterize this protected wilderness during the early twenty-first century.
