1972 Map of Piute Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Piute Peak and the surrounding high country of the Sequoia National Forest dominate this 1970s landscape, where mining history and ranching intersect in the southern Sierra Nevada. The map highlights the area's extraction heritage with the King Solomons Mine, Joe Walker Mine, and Hershoe Mine scattered across the ridgelines. To the south, the terrain descends into the Walker Basin, a notable geographical depression featuring the Walker Basin Road and a small Landing Strip. Water sources are critical in this environment, marked by the presence of Yates Hot Springs and numerous named points like Piute Spring and Kennedy Spring. The layout of the land reflects a transition from the steep elevations of Red Mountain and King Solomons Ridge to the relatively level meadows of Skinner Flat and Brown Meadow.
