About this map

The General Sherman Tree and the Giant Forest define this high-elevation landscape within Sequoia National Park during the early 1990s. The geography is dominated by deep canyons carved by the Marble Fork Kaweah River and Middle Fork Kaweah River, which drop steeply past landmarks like Marble Falls. This survey details the established park infrastructure of the era, from the winding Generals Highway to the residential pocket at Pinewood.

Cultural and natural history intersect at subterranean features like Crystal Cave and prominent overlooks such as Moro Rock and Beetle Rock. For those tracking recreational history, the map locates the Potwisha Campground and Buckeye Flat Campground alongside specialized groves such as Suwanee Grove and Pine Ridge Grove. The distribution of Circle Meadow and Huckleberry Meadow illustrates the varied ecological pockets typical of this Sierra Nevada region.
