1985 Map of Mt. Brewer

About this map

Great Western Divide and the Kings-Kern Divide meet in this high-altitude wilderness, marking the boundaries between Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park. The landscape is defined by the massive granite presence of Mt Brewer and the headwaters of the Kern River. Glacial features are prominent throughout, including the deep waters of Lake Reflection and the series of alpine basins such as Milestone Bowl. For those tracing the history of mountaineering and early park management in the 1980s, the map identifies specific high-altitude passes like Millys Foot Pass and Lucys Foot Pass. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is traversed by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (John Muir Trail), following the drainage of Tyndall Creek and Bubbs Creek.
