About this map

Sequoia National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in the southern Sierra Nevada, where dramatic peaks and high-country meadows define the geography. The terrain is anchored by Sirretta Peak and the nearby Sirretta Pass, which serve as primary landmarks for those navigating the rugged interior. A complex network of drainage systems, including Trout Cr and Salmon Cr, carves through the forest, feeding into larger basins.

Evidence of varied land use is visible in the north, where a portion of Edwards AFB reaches into the mountains near Boone Meadow. The map is particularly notable for its concentration of named meadows, such as Big Meadow, Manter Meadow, and Deadwood Meadow, which suggest a long history of seasonal grazing and water management. These natural openings provide a distinct contrast to the steep canyons and ridges, such as Dark Canyon, that characterize the surrounding wilderness area.
