2021 Map of Luckett Mountain

About this map

Luckett Mtn and the high ridges of the Sierra Nevada dominate this landscape where the Sierra National Forest and Sequoia National Forest meet. The northern edge is defined by the winding course of the Kings River, while the southern reaches are marked by more recent road development along E Kings Canyon Rd. The terrain is characterized by a series of flats and saddles, such as Alex Jones Flat, White Deer Flat, and White Deer Saddle, which provided navigable pockets within the steep canyons. This geography highlights the significance of water sources like Blue Clay Spring and Coyote Springs Cr for both natural ecosystems and human activity in these high elevations. Toward the southeast, named ridges like Pine Ridge and Dude Ridge overlook Little White Deer Valley, reflecting a long history of local place-naming by early settlers and foresters.
