2018 Map of Hockett Peak

About this map

The Great Western Divide carves through this high-altitude landscape where the Sequoia National Forest and Inyo National Forest meet. This terrain is defined by the dramatic descent into Kern Canyon, where the Kern River flows through the eastern portion of the survey. Higher elevations are marked by a series of clearings and meadows that served as vital landmarks for early travelers and rangers, including Hockett Meadows and Trout Meadows. These openings, along with named springs like Soda Spring and Trout Meadows Spring, provide essential water sources in the granite-heavy environment of the Sierra Nevada. For researchers, the map details a network of forest routes, such as Forest Rte 22S82 and Lloyd Rd, which provide access to remote landmarks like Castle Rock and the broad expanse of Lloyd Meadows.
