1957 Map of Kaweah

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Three Rivers serves as the focal point of this 1950s terrain study, situated at the confluence where the multiple forks of the Kaweah River converge. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the Yokohl Valley floor to the high peaks of Sequoia National Park and Sequoia National Forest. Notable administrative and infrastructure markers include the Ash Mountain Natl Park Hdqrs and a Powerhouse near Hammond, reflecting the early management of these protected lands and the utilization of mountain water for energy. Rural life is evidenced by Blue Ridge School, isolated sites like Peek Cabin, and subterranean features such as Clough Cave and Paradise Cave. The map also captures specialized land uses, from the Tulare County Airport to the Blue Ridge Lookout, providing a detailed look at how transportation and fire monitoring were organized in the mid-century Sierra foothills.
