2012 Map of Hume

About this map

Hume Lake serves as the central hub of this mountain landscape, which is defined by its deep logging history and recreational development. The presence of the Chicago Stump and Stump Meadow within the Converse Basin points to the era of massive redwood harvesting, while the Boole Tree remains a standing monument to the forest's ancient giants. Settlement is concentrated around Hume, where the Hume Lake Christian Camp and the Hume Forest Service Facility operate near the shoreline. The terrain is dramatically carved by the Kings River to the north and numerous drainages like Tenmile Cr and Indian Cr. High-altitude landmarks such as Panoramic Point and McGee Vista Point offer glimpses into the complex topography of ridges and meadows, including Huckleberry Meadow and Long Meadow, that characterize this portion of Fresno County.
