1993 Map of Lodgepole

About this map

Sequoia National Park encompasses this high-altitude landscape, centered on the Giant Forest and the upper reaches of the Middle Fork Kaweah River. The map captures the heart of the park's recreational and administrative infrastructure in the early 1990s, anchored by the Lodgepole settlement and the Pear Lake Ranger Station. Historically significant sites like Tharps Log and the Congress Group of giant sequoias are documented alongside the winding path of the Generals Highway. The terrain is defined by a series of massive granite features and secluded meadows, including Castle Rocks, Alta Peak, and the high-elevation Tableland. Notable groves of ancient trees, such as the Castle Creek Grove and Redwood Grove, are situated within the deep drainages of the Middle Fork Kaweah River and its tributaries, illustrating the diverse ecology protected within the park boundaries.
