About this map

Silver City and Cabin Cove represent the primary human footprints within this high-elevation landscape, situated along the winding path of Mineral King Rd. Most of the terrain is protected as part of Sequoia National Park, where the E Fork Kaweah River is fed by a complex drainage system including Atwell Cr, Deadwood Cr, and Horse Cr. The topography is defined by significant granite formations and high ridges, including the prominent Castle Rocks, Paradise Ridge, and Conifer Ridge.

Remote meadows and peaks serve as vital landmarks for those tracing the historical geography of Tulare County’s interior. Features such as Hockett Meadows, Cahoon Meadow, and Redwood Mdw are linked by established backcountry routes like the Atwell-Hockett trail. From the summit of Pine Top Mtn to the water of Oriole Lake, this 2018 survey details a wilderness where development is confined to specific historical corridors while vast areas remain dominated by peaks like Homers Nose and Paradise Peak.
