1994 Map of Kern Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Kern Peak dominates the high-altitude landscape of the Sierra Nevada Range in this mid-1990s survey. The area is defined by its complex drainage network, where the South Fork Kern River meets several significant mountain stringers including Lewis Stringer and Kern Peak Stringer. Evidence of the region's volcanic past is clear in labels such as Malpais, Lava, and Volcano Meadow, while the presence of the Tunnel FS Station near Tunnel Meadow indicates a history of forest management and early back-country administration. The map highlights a primitive landscape of meadows and peaks, from Groundhog Meadow to the Chinquapin Basin, preserved within the Golden Trout Wilderness and Inyo National Forest. High-elevation landmarks like Indian Head and Overlook Mountain overlook a network of trails and approximate locations that guided travelers before modern infrastructure reached this part of Tulare County.
