About this map

The Kern Wild And Scenic River flows through the heart of this high-elevation landscape within the Inyo National Forest. This section of the southern Sierra Nevada is defined by a series of high meadows and expansive ranges, including the Toowa Range and Kingfisher Ridge. The map documents a complex network of pack trails and migration routes used for generations, such as the Bakeoven Trl and the Redrock To Templeton-Meadow Trl, which connect various grazing lands and seasonal camps.

Prominent geographical landmarks like Templeton Mtn and Brown Mtn overlook numerous named meadows, from Fat Cow Meadow to the secluded East Potholes. The presence of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl along the eastern edge of the quadrangle highlights the area's significance for long-distance transit through the high country. The hydrography is characterized by seasonal stringers and creeks like Strawberry Cr and Mulkey Cr that feed the river system during the spring snowmelt.
