About this map

Pine Flat Lake and the Kings River anchor the southern boundary of this 1987 survey, marking the intersection of three major federal lands: Sierra National Forest, Sequoia National Forest, and Kings Canyon National Park. The landscape is defined by the high-relief drainage basins of Dinkey Creek and Lower Rancheria Creek, which descend toward the reservoir from the heights of Barnes Mountain.

Physical geography and infrastructure are mapped in detail, showing a network of transmission lines traversing Haslett Basin and Nutmeg Creek. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for remote landmarks like Sacate Ridge and small-scale industrial markers such as a Quarry near Oak Flat. This map captures the area as it appeared in the mid-1980s, documenting the complex management of timber, water, and power in the high Sierra.
