1993 Map of Mt. Silliman

About this map

The Silliman Divide and Silliman Crest dominate this high-altitude landscape where Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park converge at the Fresno and Tulare County line. This 1993 provisional survey details a terrain defined by granite summits and glacial basins, featuring prominent landmarks like Mt Silliman and Mitchell Peak. The map reveals an intricate network of alpine water bodies, including Seville Lake, Ranger Lake, and Silliman Lake, often connected by seasonal drainages like Clover Creek and Silliman Creek. Critical transit points through the high country are identified at Marvin Pass, JO Pass, and Silliman Pass, marking historical routes through the Jennie Lakes Wilderness. Notable meadows such as Horse Coral Meadow, Rowell Meadow, and Comanche Meadow indicate the small pockets of relatively level ground found within the steep drainages of Belle Canyon and the South Fork Canyon.
