1965 Map of Trimmer

About this map

Pine Flat Lake and the Kings River dominate the southern portion of this mid-1960s survey, marking the transition from the ranch lands of the western foothills into the high timber. The settlement of Trimmer serves as a central hub for the area's recreation and forest management, situated near the Trimmer Ranger Station and the Trimmer Recreation Area. This map documents a landscape where traditional grazing in Watts Valley and Burrough Valley meets the federally managed lands of the Sierra National Forest and Sequoia National Forest. Local history is preserved at the Watts Valley Cemetery, while the infrastructure of water management is evident at the Gaging Station and various springs like Cole Spring. The terrain is characterized by named peaks such as Cats Head Mountain and Eagle Peak, with several prospects indicating the area's geological interests.
