2021 Map of Mount Adelaide

About this map

Mt Adelaide and the surrounding southern Sierra Nevada peaks define the elevation in this remote corner of the Sequoia National Forest. The landscape is a network of named flats and seasonal water sources, where the Kern River cuts through the northwest corner near CA State Rte 178. High mountain meadows and plateaus like Cow Flat, Pine Flat, and Hoosier Flat suggest the area's history as grazing or forest service land. Numerous remote springs, including the descriptively named Pigpen Spring, Sheep Troughs Spring, and Coyote Spring, are scattered across the slopes, indicating vital watering points in an otherwise arid montane environment. Local roads like Breckenridge Rd navigate the steep drainage systems of N Fork Cottonwood Cr and Rattlesnake Cr, providing access to these isolated natural landmarks.
