1987 Map of Long Canyon

About this map

The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through a high-altitude landscape where the Sequoia National Forest meets the Inyo National Forest. This 1980s survey captures a transition point in the Sierra Nevada, centered on the drainage of the South Fork Kern River. The map highlights a series of alpine meadows and springs, such as Wildrose Meadow and Windy Springs, which have long served as vital water sources in this steep terrain.
