1993 Map of Mt. Silliman

About this map

Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park meet along a complex high-country boundary defined by the Silliman Crest and Silliman Divide. This 1993 provisional survey documents the convergence of protected wilderness areas, including the Jennie Lakes Wilderness and Sequoia National Forest. The landscape is characterized by a high concentration of subalpine water bodies such as Seville Lake, Ranger Lake, and Silliman Lake, which serve as the headwaters for drainages like Sugarloaf Creek and Ferguson Creek. Significant topographic landmarks like Mt Silliman, Mitchell Peak, and Kettle Peak dominate the skyline, connected by a network of high-elevation traversals including Marvin Pass, Silliman Pass, and Cahoon Gap. The map illustrates the preservation of this alpine environment, where meadows like Williams Meadow and Comanche Meadow persist within the protected parklands.
