1972 Map of Piute Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Piute Peak and the high ridges of the Sequoia National Forest dominate this Kern County landscape as it appeared in the 1970s and 1980s. The map reveals a history of resource extraction and seasonal grazing, evidenced by the King Solomons Mine and Horshoe Mine tucked into the northern canyons. To the southwest, the relatively flat terrain of Walker Basin provides a sharp contrast to the surrounding summits, hosting features like a Landing Strip and the Joe Walker Mine. High-altitude meadows and water sources such as Brown Meadow, Bracchi Spring, and Yates Hot Springs suggest a network of backcountry travel and stock management. A complex system of drainage, including King Solomons Canyon and Thompson Creek, defines the local topography, while scattered cemeteries and remote structures provide clues for genealogists and local historians.
