1986 Map of Dennison Peak

About this map

Good Hope Mines and high-altitude lookouts define this mid-1980s terrain in Tulare County, where the southern reaches of Sequoia National Park meet the Sequoia National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the steep drainage of the South Fork Kaweah River in the north and the North Fork Tule River to the south. Central to the map is the remote Grouse Valley, a pocket of moderate elevation surrounded by significant peaks like Cahoon Mtn and Dennison Peak. Local history and land use are evidenced by the Blue Ridge Lookout and adjacent Blue Ridge Radio Facilities, which occupy the prominent western heights of Blue Ridge. The presence of Peck Cabin and the South Fork Ranger Station highlights the administrative and early settlement patterns of this high-country wilderness.
