2004 Map of Slide Bluffs

About this map

Simpson Meadow and the surrounding high-country wilderness of the Sierra Nevada are documented here as they appeared in the early 21st century. The map highlights the rugged drainage systems of the Middle Fork Kings River, where deep canyons like the Gorge of Despair and Lost Canyon cut through massive granitic formations. This area serves as a critical junction for the Kings Canyon National Park and the Sequoia-Kings Canyon Wilderness, characterized by a network of alpine creeks and dramatic elevations such as Tunemah Peak and the White Divide.
