About this map

Sequoia National Park, Sequoia National Forest, and Kings Canyon National Park converge in this high-altitude landscape of Tulare County. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations, from the peaks of Shadequarter Mtn and Becketts Backbone to the deep incisions of Redwood Canyon and Live Oak Gulch. This 2018 survey captures the interface of protected wilderness and rugged backcountry infrastructure.

Remote settlements like Advance and Tarbell Pocket sit tucked away from the main thoroughfares, connected by winding routes such as Colony Mill Road and Hidden Springs Road. The complex water network includes the N Fork Kaweah River and Eshom Cr, which drain the steep slopes of Pine Ridge and Sheep Ridge. These features illustrate the enduring geographic barriers and specific transit corridors that have shaped local access to the Sierra Nevada range.
