1956 Map of Kern Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Kern River flows through the center of this high Sierra landscape, cutting a deep path between the Chagoopa Plateau and the Boreal Plateau. This mid-century survey documents the backcountry infrastructure of the Sequoia National Park and surrounding national forests, highlighting isolated outposts such as the Chagoopa Falls Ranger Station and the Kern Canyon Ranger Station. The inclusion of the Tunnel Meadow Landing Strip and the Tunnel Air Camp reflects the importance of aviation for managing these remote regions in the 1950s.
