About this map

Kings Canyon National Park and the John Muir Wilderness converge in this 1984 provisional survey, documenting a high-altitude landscape defined by the crest of the Sierra Nevada. The boundary between Fresno Co and Inyo Co follows the dramatic ridgeline, connecting peaks like Split Mtn, Mt Bolton Brown, and Mt Prater. This map traces the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it traverses the Upper Basin and crosses Mather Pass, reflecting the era's focus on wilderness preservation and recreation. To the east, the drainage of South Fork Big Pine Creek and Birch Creek reveals the transition from glacial basins to the steep canyons above the Owens Valley. The presence of Blue Star Mines near the northern boundary provides a rare instance of industrial activity in an otherwise protected alpine environment, while landmarks like Temple Crag and Norman Clyde Glacier anchor the central topography.
