About this map

Sequoia National Park and the Sequoia National Forest meet in this high-elevation landscape within the southern Sierra Nevada. The terrain is defined by dramatic peaks and deep drainages, with Moses Mtn and Dennison Mtn serving as prominent landmarks. This 2015 survey illustrates the complex watershed where the S Fork Kaweah River flows through the northern reaches while the N Fork Middle Fork Tule River and N Fork Tule River drain the southern slopes.

Subalpine features like Hockett Lakes and several meadows—including Hockett Meadows, Sand Meadows, and South Fork Meadows—point to the classic high-country ecology of the region. Transportation is largely limited to the periphery, most notably via Balch Park Rd, reflecting the primitive state of this protected wilderness. High-altitude ridgelines like Dennison Ridge separate deep canyons such as Snowslide Canyon and Dillon Canyon, providing a detailed look at the geography of the southern Sierras.
