2021 Map of Kern Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Great Western Divide carves through this high-altitude landscape where the Kern Wild and Scenic River flows southward through Kern Canyon. This 2021 survey documents a wilderness environment defined by the high peaks of the Sierra Nevada, including Angora Mtn and the Coyote Peaks. Significant alpine water bodies like Kern Lake and Little Kern Lake are focal points for the drainage systems of Grasshopper Creek and Golden Trout Creek. The map illustrates a network of historic backcountry routes, such as the Coyote Pass Trail and the Right Stringer Trail, which connect remote landmarks like Grasshopper Flat and the meadows at Lion Meadows. These trails provide the only passage through the steep terrain, crossing at Coyote Pass to link the diverse ecosystems of Sequoia National Park, Sequoia National Forest, and Inyo National Forest.
