About this map

Squaw Valley and the surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills are captured in this 2021 survey, illustrating a landscape where low-density rural residential development meets steep vertical terrain. The settlement pattern follows the contours of the land, with names like Shannon Valley and Shipes Valley indicating the historical importance of these flatter pockets for ranching and homesteading. The inclusion of the Squaw Valley Cem provides a focal point for genealogical research, while the Baker & Hall Airport serves as a modern aviation landmark amidst the ridges.

The southern portion of the map transitions across the Fresno Co Tulare Co line, where the topography becomes increasingly defined by named summits. Significant elevations including Buttonwillow Peak, Goldstein Peak, and Washapie Mtn overlook the winding drainage of Sand Cr. This contemporary USGS data details the complex road network, from named residential lanes like Honeysuckle to the primary thoroughfare of E Kings Canyon Rd, mapping the current human footprint on these long-established valleys.
