About this map

Sequoia National Forest encompasses the high ridges and steep canyons of the southern Sierra Nevada range on this 2021 survey. The landscape is defined by massive granite features like Piute Peak and Johns Peak, along with the prominent King Solomons Ridge and Red Mtn. Human activity is concentrated in the southern valleys near Walker Basin, where a network of rural roads such as Redstone Ave and Ann Jeanette St serve ranching properties and the Flying S Ranch Airport.

Evidence of historical land use persists in the high country at Burton Mill and Brown Meadow, while numerous water sources like Yates Hot Springs, Thompson Spring, and Bracchi Spring mark the difficult terrain. The map detail highlights the complex drainage systems of Rancheria Cr and Thompson Cr, providing a clear look at the trail systems and forest routes that crisscross these peaks, including Piute Mountain Rd and the Forest Rte 28S05.
