About this map

Sequoia National Forest lands dominate this 1920s tactical survey, showing a landscape defined by remote ranger stations and early mountain infrastructure. The settlement of Havilah sits in the southeast, once a bustling mining center, while Glennville anchor the northwest corner. A network of early government outposts, including Davis RS, Caillands RS, and Mill Creek RS, indicates the systematic management of the timber and water resources during this era.

The rugged drainage of the Kern River carves through the southeast, fed by numerous creeks such as Greenhorn Creek and Delonagha Creek. High points like Basket Peak and Likely Mt tower over flats and gulches, while local features like Brown Mill and the Summit Trail reveal the footprint of early industry and travel. Natural water sources are frequent, from the thermal Hot Springs to Delonagha Springs and Caughran Springs, which likely served as vital stopovers for travelers and stockmen moving through the Kern County highlands.
