1987 Map of Durrwood Creek

About this map

The Kern River carves a deep valley through this portion of the Sequoia National Forest, defining the landscape of Tulare County during the late 1980s. Steep canyon walls rise toward prominent high-altitude markers such as The Needles and Needlerock to the west, while Schaeffer Mountain and Sherman Peak dominate the eastern reaches. The map documents a network of seasonal camps and specialized infrastructure, including Durrwood Camp, Bean Camp, and a Cable Crossing over the river, illustrating the area's role as a base for wilderness recreation and forest management.
