1909 Map of Kaweah

About this map

Mineral King and the early reaches of Sequoia National Park dominate this 1902 survey, which captures the Sierra Nevada foothills and high peaks before the era of widespread automobile access. The landscape is a network of alpine basins and river forks, with the Kaweah River and Tule River systems carving deep canyons through the terrain. Human presence is marked by isolated outposts like Milk Ranch and several strategic monitoring points including the Park Headquarters and Hockett Ranger Station.
