2015 Map of Wren Peak

About this map

The Sierra National Forest and Sequoia National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape dominated by the Monarch Divide and the Middle Fork Kings River. This 2015 survey details the steep elevation drops from summits like Wren Peak and the prominent Grand Dike down into drainage systems fed by Silver Cr and Boulder Cr. The map shows a remote wilderness largely devoid of modern development, where topographic navigation relies on named landmarks such as Yucca Point and the sharp turn at Horseshoe Bend. High-country basins offer a series of distinct alpine meadows, including Tornado Meadow and Kennedy Meadow, which represent critical grazing or camping waypoints for those traversing the backcountry via Burton Pass. Forest Service infrastructure is minimal, represented by routes such as Forest Rte 13S05 and the proximity to Windy Cliffs.
