1987 Map of Long Canyon

About this map

Sequoia National Forest and the South Sierra Wilderness dominate this high-elevation landscape along the border of Tulare and Inyo Counties. The map documents the headwaters and drainage patterns of the South Fork Kern River, which winds through the western portion of the sheet near Clover Meadow. This is a terrain of dramatic vertical relief, defined by the towering presence of Ball Mountain and a series of deep cuts including Long Canyon, Johnson Canyon, and Tunawee Canyon.
