About this map

General Grant Tree stands as a central landmark within this portion of Kings Canyon National Park, where the high Sierras meet managed timberlands. The map documents the residential clusters of Wilsonia and Grant Grove Village, along with the recreational hub at Sequoia Lake. To the south, the transition into Sequoia National Forest reveals smaller settlements like Hartland and Sierra Glen, tucked into the drainages of Eshom Creek and Dry Creek.

Loggers and early conservationists alike left their mark on this landscape, evidenced by the Big Stump Entrance Station and the Quarry near The Wye. Significant stands of old-growth timber are identified throughout, including Big Baldy Grove, Buena Vista Grove, and the extensive Redwood Mountain area. The presence of a Lookout Tower on McKenzie Ridge and various meadows like Quail Flat and Bacon Meadow illustrate the complex fire management and grazing history of these mountains in the late twentieth century.
