About this map

The high crest of the Sierra Nevada takes center stage in this 2018 survey, marking the dramatic boundary between the Inyo National Forest and the Sequoia National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which traverses the western edge of the quadrangle near Cow Canyon and Bear Trap Meadow. The transition from the steep eastern slopes of the Inyo side to the rugged basins of the Sequoia side is visible through several key crossings, including Olancha Pass and Haiwee Pass.

Water sources such as Soda Spring and the South Fork Kern River nourish high-elevation clearings like Summit Meadow and Dutch John Flat. The map also traces the drainage patterns of Walker Creek and Loco Creek as they descend toward the eastern valley. Farther east, the settlement at Sage Flat connects to the high country via the winding Sage Flat Road, highlighting the long-standing access routes into these protected wilderness areas.
