2018 Map of Sentinel Peak

About this map

The settlement of Ponderosa serves as a small hub in this high-altitude landscape of the Sequoia National Forest. The 2018 survey reveals a network of meadows and peaks that define the geography of Tulare County, centered around the S Fork Middle Fork Tule River and S Fork Tule River. Named features like Quaking Aspen Meadow, Quaker Meadow, and Holby Meadow indicate the historical importance of these open spaces within the timbered terrain. Prominent summits including Slate Mtn, Mule Peak, and Sentinel Peak overlook a complex system of Forest Service routes, such as Forest Rte 21S05 and Forest Rte 21S72. The map details the headwaters of numerous creeks, including Nobe Young Cr and Peppermint Cr, which carve through features like Horse Canyon and Windy Gap.
