About this map

Pine Flat Lake and the Kings River Lake dominate the southern landscape of this 1987 survey, marking a significant water management and utility corridor within the Sierra National Forest. The presence of the Kings River Powerhouse and several Transmission Lines reflects the mid-century hydroelectric development that shaped this part of Fresno County. Higher elevations are characterized by landmarks like the Fence Meadow Lookout and Sacate Ridge, which provide topographical context to the area's drainage systems.

Waterways such as Dinkey Creek and Big Creek carve through the terrain, leading toward basins and meadows like Haslett Basin and Bear Meadow. These natural features, along with specialized points like the Gaging Station and a northern Quarry, suggest a landscape defined by forest management and resource extraction. The map also delineates the boundary of the Sequoia National Forest and the Kings River Conservation District Boundary, indicating the intersection of multiple land use agencies.
