2012 Map of Miracle Hot Springs

About this map

Miracle Hot Springs and the historic settlement of Havilah anchor this study of the Southern Sierra Nevada landscape. The Kern River carves a deep path through the center of the sheet, supporting industrial and recreational sites like the Borel Powerhouse, Hobo Campground, and Davis Campground. The map reveals a transition from the river valley to high peaks, including Rough and Ready Mountain, Lightner Peak, and Quartz Mountain. Local ranching and early commerce are evidenced by Goff Ranch and its proximity to Golf Meadow. A network of Forest Service routes, such as Forest Rte 26S06 and Kern Canyon Rd, connects these remote locales. Geothermal features like Delonegha Hot Springs and the enigmatic Peterson Landmark Object highlight the unique geological and cultural markers of this Kern County region.
