2021 Map of Triple Divide Peak

About this map

Triple Divide Peak stands as the hydrographic centerpiece of this High Sierra landscape, where the headwaters of the Kern-Kaweah River, Roaring River, and Middle Fork Kaweah River diverge. This 2021 survey documents a high-altitude wilderness within the borders of Kings Canyon National Park and Sequoia National Park. The map captures the sheer verticality of the Great Western Divide and the Kaweah Peaks Ridge, featuring prominent summits such as Black Kaweah, Red Kaweah, and Mt Stewart. Significant alpine destinations like Valhalla and the Nine Lake Basin are shown alongside established backcountry routes, including the Hamilton Lakes Trl and the Twenty-Seven Switchback Cut Off Trl. This modern record of the Sierra Nevada crest provides a definitive view of the topography surrounding Bearpaw Meadow and the historic Copper Mine Pass.
