2015 Map of Eagle Rest Peak

About this map

The San Emigdio Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape in Kern County, where the northern boundaries of the Los Padres National Forest meet the southern Central Valley fringe. The area is defined by sharp topographic relief and a network of seasonal drainages, including San Emigdio Cr and Los Lobos Cr. Named landmarks such as Eagle Rest Peak and Brush Mtn rise above deep-cut ravines like Cloudburst Canyon and Doc Williams Canyon. A notable geological and topographic feature known as Devils Kitchen sits along the primary canyon floor, illustrating the complex erosion patterns characteristic of this part of the Transverse Ranges. While largely devoid of modern settlements, the map provides an intricate look at the watershed and summit network before the arid hills descend toward the San Joaquin Valley floor.
