2012 Map of Hockett Peak

About this map

The Kern River and its upper tributaries dominate this portion of the Sierra Nevada, where high-altitude meadows and remote seasonal camps define the human presence. Near the southern confluence at Forks of the Kern, the landscape transitions from the steep walls of Deadman Canyon to the broader flats of Sacratone Flat. The distribution of backcountry infrastructure, including Pyles Camp and Willow Meadows Campground, indicates the area's long-standing utility for wilderness recreation and forest management.
