1957 Map of Kaweah

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Three Rivers area serves as a primary gateway to the high Sierra Nevada, where the converging branches of the Kaweah River carve through a landscape of prominent peaks and deep canyons. This 1957 field-checked survey reveals the early infrastructure of Sequoia National Park, centered on the Ash Mountain Natl Park Hdqrs. Local industry and land use are visible through features like the Good Hope Mines and the Tulare County Airport, while the rugged eastern terrain is dotted with remote outposts such as the Peck Cabin and South Fork Ranger Sta. Natural landmarks like Paradise Cave and Case Mountain define the high country, illustrating the region's character before modern development expanded into these foothills of the southern Sierra.
