About this map

The Greenhorn Mountains define the high-elevation landscape of the Sequoia National Forest in this 2018 survey. Timber and recreation history intersect along the upper reaches of the White River, where historical industrial sites like Guernsey Mill and Sugarloaf Saw Mill sit near the White River Summer Home Tract. The terrain is characterized by a high density of named meadows and peaks, including Tobias Peak, Baker Peak, and Sunday Peak, which served as critical navigation points and seasonal grazing lands.

A network of Forest Service routes, such as Rancheria Rd and Sandy Creek Fire Rd, connects these remote outposts to the Kern County and Tulare County border. The presence of Sugarloaf Mountain Park and the Spear Creek Summer Home Tract suggests a mid-century evolution from pure extraction to mountain leisure. Natural features like Bull Run Basin and Portuguese Pass provide insight into the traditional routes used to traverse these steep southern Sierra Nevada ridges.
