1956 Map of Hockett Peak

About this map

Sequoia National Forest and Inyo National Forest meet in this mid-century study of the southern Sierra Nevada, where the drainage of the Little Kern River and the Kern River shapes a high-country landscape of meadows and granite peaks. The map details a network of administrative and recreational outposts essential for forest management and early wilderness travel, including the Trout Meadows Guard Sta, Beach Mdws Guard Sta, and Curliss Mdws Guard Sta. High-altitude meadows such as Hockett Mdws and Casa Vieja Mdws serve as anchors for the trail systems of the era.
