2018 Map of Lake Isabella South

About this map

Bodfish and the residential corridors of Squirrel Mountain Valley dominate the northern landscape, where the Kern River flows through Hot Spring Valley. This area serves as a significant interface between early settlement patterns and the high-elevation wilderness of the Sequoia National Forest. The map documents a complex network of local roads including Caliente Bodfish Rd and Bodfish Canyon Rd, which navigate the steep transition from the valley floor to the prominent summits of the Sierra Nevada range. Historical land use is evident in the naming of remote locales like Burton Mill and Studebaker Flat. Hydrological features such as Scovern Hot Springs and Gautche Springs suggest the importance of natural water sources in this arid environment, while peaks like Liebel Peak and Bodfish Peak define the physical boundaries of the southern Kern River drainage.
