2012 Map of Sacate Ridge

About this map

The Kings River carves a deep path through this section of Fresno County, where the Kings River Powerhouse sits near the junction with Sycamore Springs Cr. This rugged landscape is defined by the steep elevation changes between the Kings River valley and the high Sacate Ridge. The presence of the Kings River Powerhouse and several established campsites like Kirch Flat Campground and Nutmeg Campground highlights the area's dual role in utility and recreation. Farther north, the terrain transitions into the Haslett Basin and Blue Canyon, accessible via a network of forest roads including Dinkey-Trimmer Rd. Significant landmarks like the Fence Meadow Lookout offer a perspective on the vast woodland management and fire oversight required for this remote section of the Sierra Nevada foothills during the early 21st century.
