2021 Map of Kernville

About this map

The Kern River flows through a dramatic landscape within the Sequoia National Forest, defining the geography of this northern Kern County region. The community of Kernville serves as a primary hub at the southern edge of the map, where residential streets like Scodie Ave and Buena Vista Dr meet the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Following the river north, the Sierra Way provides access to the Kern Wild and Scenic River corridor, passing landmarks such as Camp Owens and the northern settlement at Stormy Canyon Chico Flat. High-elevation features like Powers Peak and Baker Ridge offer a glimpse into the steep verticality of the terrain, while numerous drainage systems including Bull Run Cr and Cannell Cr feed into the central waterway.
