About this map

The Kings River serves as the powerful central artery for this portion of the Sierra Nevada, carved through by the Middle Fork Kings River and the South Fork Kings River. The landscape is dominated by the intersecting boundaries of the Sierra National Forest, the Sequoia National Forest, and the Monarch Wilderness. This survey captures the region's botanical and geological significance, identifying numerous giant sequoia groves such as the Windy Gulch Grove, Evans Grove, and Kennedy Grove. Human presence is marked by ephemeral locations like the Camp Seven (Site) and the notable Boyden Cave near the Windy Cliffs. The intricate drainage network of Redwood Creek and Evans Creek illustrates the complex watershed that feeds the high-altitude meadows, including Tornado Meadow and Deer Meadow.
