1987 Map of Fairview

About this map

The Kern River carves a deep path through the southern Sierra Nevada on this 1980s survey, marking a corridor of recreation and resource extraction in the Sequoia National Forest. The settlement of Fairview and the nearby Roads End serve as gateways to the high country, where the Greenhorn Mountains rise to the west. Evidence of local industry and geology is noted at the Fairview Mine, while the landscape is defined by rugged drainage systems like Brush Canyon and Packsaddle Canyon. Along the river, a network of sites including Limestone Campground and Fairview Campground highlights the area's mid-century role as a forest destination. Significant natural landmarks such as Packsaddle Cave and the Salmon Creek Falls are clearly identified, providing valuable geographic context for researchers and outdoor historians interested in this portion of Tulare County before later developments.
