1909 Map of Kaweah

USGS Topo · Published 1909

About this map

Sequoia National Park dominates the northern half of this 1909 survey, revealing the early infrastructure of the Sierra Nevada's western slopes. The map captures a transitional era of resource management and early tourism, where industrial sites like Atwells Mill and Dillon Mill sit alongside established mountain destinations such as Mineral King. In the lower elevations, the settlement of Three Rivers marks the confluence of the Kaweah River forks, while the irrigation-dependent landscape of Frazier Valley is defined by the Mt. Whitney Ditch. This document provides essential detail for researchers tracing early 20th-century hydrology and land use, from the Tule River Indian Res in the south to the high-altitude Sawtooth Peak and Farewell Gap on the Great Western Divide. The presence of Daunt P.O. and Success highlights vanished or relocated nodes of local commerce and postal history within the foothills.
