2012 Map of Shadequarter Mountain

About this map

Shadequarter Mountain and its surrounding peaks dominate this landscape in the southern Sierra Nevada foothills. The terrain is defined by the steep drainage basins of the N Fork Kaweah River and Eshom Cr, where elevations transition toward the high country of Sequoia National Park along the eastern boundary. The settlement of Eshom Valley is connected to the surrounding rugged geography via a network of local roads including Stagecoach Dr and Cemetery Dr, suggesting a history of early transit and ranching. Further south, the community of Advance sits near the confluence of the river and Bear Cr. Notable topographical landmarks such as Pattee Rocks, Shadequarter Lookout, and Becketts Backbone provide significant points of interest for those studying the physical layout and historical fire observation points of this Tulare County region.
