About this map

Havilah and the winding Kern River corridor anchor this survey of the southern Sierra Nevada foothills. Long known for its gold-mining history, Havilah is situated in a high-elevation valley near Havilah Canyon, where the Caliente Bodfish Rd traces the path of early mountain transport. The terrain is marked by significant peaks such as Lightner Peak and Rankin Peak, dropping sharply into deep drainages like Black Gulch and Lilly Canyon.

Hydrothermal activity is a defining characteristic of the landscape, evidenced by Miracle Hot Springs and Delonegha Hot Springs along the river's edge. Much of the region is protected within the Sequoia National Forest, preserving the rugged character of the Greenhorn Mountains and peaks like Rough and Ready Mtn. The map captures the interface between these public lands and established settlements like Keyesville, providing a modern look at a region shaped by mineral extraction and recreation.
