About this map

Sequoia National Forest defines the landscape of this southern Sierra Nevada region, where high-elevation meadows and prominent granite formations dictate the local geography. The settlement of Johnsondale sits near the confluence of Parker-Meadow Cr and Mill Cr, serving as a primary point of human activity within a terrain characterized by vast drainage systems like Nobe Young Cr and South Cr.

Genealogists and local historians can trace names associated with early camps and grazing sites, such as French Joe Meadow, Thompson Camp Spring, and Speas Meadow. The map reveals a network of Forest Service routes, including Forest Rte 22S82 and Forest Rte 23S16, which connect remote outposts like Roads End to distinctive landmarks like Dome Rock and Table Mtn. These features highlight a history of timber management, summer grazing, and early mountain recreation in Tulare County.
