1972 Map of Piute Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

King Solomons Mine and the Horshoe Mine sit tucked into the canyons of the Sequoia National Forest, marking a landscape defined by 20th-century resource extraction and thermal features. The topography is dominated by the height of Piute Peak and the high ridgelines of Solomons Ridge, giving way to the expansive Walker Basin in the southwest. This area serves as a transition from the wooded heights of Piute Mountain to the ranching and livestock operations indicated by several springs and a Landing Strip. Local infrastructure is evident through the presence of a Substation and the winding Walker Basin Road, which follows the contours of the valley floor. Rare thermal activity is noted at Yates Hot Springs, while small-scale local history is preserved at a high-elevation Cem and namesake locations like Skinner Flat.
