2015 Map of Sacate Ridge

About this map

Kings River flows through the southern reach of this landscape, feeding into the eastern tip of Pine Flat Lake near the settlement of Kirch Flat. The area is defined by the transition between the Sierra National Forest and the Sequoia National Forest, marked by significant elevation changes from the Haslett Basin up to the prominence of Barnes Mtn. High-altitude features like Nutmeg Saddle and Fence Meadow indicate a terrain historically utilized for seasonal grazing and timber access. The presence of Sycamore Springs and various drainages such as Lower Rancheria Cr and Nutmeg Cr suggest a well-watered backcountry. Access is provided by the winding Dinkey-Trimmer Rd, which serves as a primary artery through these woods, connecting remote points like Oak Flat and the historic Sierra Nevada location.
