1993 Map of General Grant Grove

About this map

Grant Grove Village serves as a central hub within this high-elevation landscape, where the Giant Sequoia groves of Kings Canyon National Park meet the surrounding Sequoia National Forest. The map details the complex terrain of Redwood Mountain and McKenzie Ridge, highlighting the legendary General Grant Tree and the massive Fallen Goliath. Human activity is centered around clustered mountain settlements like Wilsonia, Hartland, and Sierra Glen, alongside numerous recreational sites such as Sequoia Lake and the Sunset Campground. The transition from research-oriented lands like Whitaker Forest to the rugged peaks of Buena Vista Peak and Big Baldy illustrates the era's focus on both botanical preservation and alpine recreation, tied together by the winding path of the Generals Highway.
