1972 Map of Miracle Hot Springs

About this map

The Kern River carves a deep path through the Sequoia National Forest in this 1970s topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by geothermal activity and early California mining operations. Resource extraction and outdoor recreation center on Miracle Hot Springs and Delonegha Hot Springs, while the Borel Canal and Borel Powerhouse reflect the early development of hydroelectric power in the region. Near the southern edge of the map, the historic settlement of Havilah serves as a focal point for researchers, flanked by the Havilah Forest Service Sta and evidence of a hard-rock mining legacy.
