2018 Map of Sacatar Canyon

About this map

Kennedy Meadows and its surrounding high-country terrain define this section of the Sierra Nevada range on the border of Tulare and Inyo counties. The landscape is characterized by a network of seasonal meadows and vital water sources, including Sacatar Meadow, Big Pine Meadow, and Johnson Meadow, which historically supported the region's ranching and transit corridors. The topography is split by significant drainage systems such as Sacatar Canyon, Little Lake Canyon, and Fine Canyon, providing a clear view of the complex hydrology of the eastern slopes. For modern recreation and historic transit, the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, crossing near Reinhardt Spring. Local access is maintained via Sacatar Ranch Rd and Goman Ave, linking these high meadows to the broader mountain network.
