About this map

The S Fork Kaweah River carves through the northern reaches of this landscape, marking a transition into the iconic Sequoia National Park. This high-altitude terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts, where peaks like Cahoon Mtn and Grouse Peak overlook the isolated settlements of Upper Grouse Valley and Sierra Nevada. The map illustrates the complex intersection of federal lands, including the Sequoia National Forest and the Blue Ridge National Wildlife Refuge, highlighting how conservation boundaries shape the modern California wilderness.

Primitive routes such as For Rte 19S36 and the South Fork Kaweah Trl provide the only access into deep drainages like Devils Canyon. To the south, the headwaters of the N Fork Tule River emerge near Battle Mtn, showing the critical role this watershed plays in the regional geography. For those tracing the evolution of Tulare County’s protected lands, the map details the specific placement of Blue Ridge and various mountain drainages like Backbone Cr and Kramer Cr.
