About this map

Mt Henry stands as a prominent centerpiece in this high-altitude landscape where the Sierra National Forest meets Kings Canyon National Park. The topography is defined by massive granite features including Pavilion Dome and Emerald Peak, separated by the deep glacial carving of Goddard Canyon and Evolution Valley. A significant segment of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern half of the map, passing by landmarks like John Muir Rock and through the sweeping Evolution Meadow.

The hydrologic network is dense with alpine lakes such as Martha Lake, Davis Lake, and the cluster of Turk Lakes, all feeding into the South Fork San Joaquin River and Evolution Creek. This map highlights the challenging terrain of the Le Conte Divide and Glacier Divide, with notable high-elevation access points like Mosquito Pass and the evocatively named Hell for Sure Pass. The western slope is marked by the distinct Red Mountain Basin, providing a detailed look at the complex drainage of Meadow Brook and Fleming Creek before they descend into the lower canyons.
