1965 Map of Trimmer

About this map

Pine Flat Lake and the Kings River define the southeastern landscape of this mid-century survey, reflecting the region's managed water resources. While much of the area is occupied by the Sierra National Forest and Sequoia National Forest, small pockets of settlement such as Trimmer and Burrough are visible. The map includes underwater contours for the lake based on 1948 data, showing the canyon as it appeared prior to inundation. Genealogy interests are centered in Watts Valley, where the Watts Valley Cem remains a primary landmark for the dispersed community. Resource management and recreation are evident through the Trimmer Ranger Sta, various campgrounds like Sycamore Flat 1 Campground, and a Gaging Station on Sycamore Creek. Transport is limited to rugged routes such as Watts Valley Road and Maxson Road, weaving through peaks like Davis Mountain and Branford Mountain.
