2018 Map of Tucker Mountain

About this map

Squaw Valley and the surrounding foothills of the southern Sierra Nevada are captured here at the county line between Fresno and Tulare. The landscape is defined by its series of high ridges and named valleys, including Shannon Valley, Little White Deer Valley, and Long Valley. Local infrastructure is concentrated around the small airstrip at Baker & Hall Airport and a network of named country roads like Indian Guide Rd and Ruth Hill Rd that navigate the terrain between peaks such as Tucker Mountain and Buttonwillow Peak. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Squaw Valley Cemetery, while the placement of the Sierra Nevada label directly within the settlement area reflects the local geography at the base of the mountains. The southern portion of the sheet transitions into Drum Valley, showing the cattle-ranching character of the land through numerous small seasonal creeks like Sand Creek.
