1986 Map of Dennison Peak

About this map

Good Hope Mines and the high ridges of the Sierra Nevada foothills define this terrain in Tulare County. The landscape is a transition between the Sequoia National Forest and Sequoia National Park, where the South Fork Kaweah River and North Fork Tule River carve deep drainages. Human activity in this mid-1980s snapshot is largely seasonal and administrative, centered around the South Fork Ranger Station, the South Fork Campground, and the Blue Ridge Lookout. Narrow paths like the Backbone Creek Trail provide the primary access through the steep elevations. Notable peaks such as Dennison Peak and Cahoon Mtn tower over drainages like Devils Canyon and Grouse Valley, while the isolated Peck Cabin sits far from the established forest boundaries.
