About this map

Sierra Nevada granite peaks and high-altitude meadows dominate this 2021 survey of the Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park border. The landscape is defined by massive formations such as Mt Silliman, Mitchell Peak, and the Silliman Crest, which serve as a backdrop to a complex network of glacial basins and water bodies. Numerous alpine lakes including Seville Lake, Ranger Lake, and Beville Lake are interconnected by established wilderness paths like the Silliman Pass North Trl and the Seville Lake Trl.

The map details the transitional ecology between the high ridgelines and protected basins, showing named clearings like Comanche Meadow and Sugarloaf Meadow. Drainage systems such as Sugarloaf Cr and Silliman Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic patterns of the Kings-Kaweah Divide. This modern topographic record is an essential tool for understanding the contemporary geography of these protected California wilderness areas.
