1987 Map of Fairview

About this map

The Kern River carves a deep path through the Sequoia National Forest in this mid-1980s record of Tulare County. The settlement of Fairview and the nearby Roads End serve as gateways to a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high-altitude water systems, including Salmon Creek and Dry Meadow Creek. Resource extraction and recreation are mapped side-by-side, where several prospects and the Fairview Mine indicate the area's mineral history, while a network of sites like Limestone Campground and Burton Camp mark its role in forest management and tourism. Notable natural landmarks such as Packsaddle Cave and the Salmon Creek Falls are documented within the Rincon and Greenhorn Mountains, providing a detailed view of the terrain as it existed before the 1990s.
