2021 Map of Hume

About this map

Hume sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the waters of Hume Lake and Tenmile Creek meet. The geography is defined by a series of deep basins and meadows, including Converse Basin and Stump Meadow, reflecting the complex watershed of the Kings River. This 2021 survey traces the modern boundaries of three distinct national forests—the Sierra National Forest, Sequoia National Forest, and Kings Canyon National Park. The inclusion of Sandy Cove Beach and the Kings River National Recreation Trl highlights the area's role as a recreational hub within the larger wilderness, while landmarks like Lava Butte and Converse Mtn anchor the terrain. The network of forest service roads and trails, such as the Grant Grove North Boundary Trl, provides contemporary access through these historic timber and grazing lands.
