2018 Map of Long Canyon

About this map

Kennedy Meadows serves as a primary access point for the high Sierra high country, marking a transition between the Sequoia National Forest and the Inyo National Forest. This 2018 survey details the complex topography of the Sierra Nevada, where the South Fork Kern River flows through a landscape defined by deep drainages like Long Canyon and Tunawee Canyon. The transportation network is a mix of high-altitude roads such as Sherman Pass Rd and Ponderosa Rd, alongside iconic wilderness paths. Most notably, the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the northwestern section, while the Long Canyon Trl offers a interior route through the forest. Water sources remain critical in this environment, with locations like Windy Springs, Willow Spring, and Clover Meadow distributed across the varying elevations of the quadrangle.
