1909 Map of Kaweah

About this map

Sequoia National Park dominates the northern reaches of this Sierra Nevada landscape, preserved here just over a decade after its establishment. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage systems of the Kaweah River and Tule River, where steep ridges like Paradise Ridge and Blue Ridge separate high alpine peaks from the developing valleys below. Evidence of early mountain industry is visible at Atwells Mill and Dillon Mill, while the specialized nature of the high country is marked by scattered Rangers Cabins and the remote outpost at Mineral King.
