hey all i have and like the tom harrison map for sequoia & kings canyon and am trying to figure out which of his maps is best for the sierra just north of that. his website has a map (http://www.tomharrisonmaps.com/locationmap.html) that should tell me, but it's really confusing. 'mono divide high country' seems to be one option, but it covers a relatively small area. is there a harrison map that covers a larger area just north of the seki one? thanks!

Do you have the map called "kings canyon high country"? That is the one just south of the mono divide map.

the very tip top of my kings canyon high country map has mt. powell. Does yours go that far north? that at least gives you an idea of how far north.

hey there it does. in fact it extends another 5-7 miles north of that. the topmost features on the SEKI map are (from west to east) muir trail ranch, pavilion dome, humphreys basin, piute pass, north lake, bishop park, etc. the seki map covers a lot of ground and i was just assuming there was a similar and obvious harrison map to the north that did the same thing up towards yosemite. maybe the rest of harrison's maps cover smaller/more specific areas?

for future generations wondering the same thing, from the horses mouth, tom harrison: "The Mono Divide, Mammoth, and Yosemite High Country maps cover the area north of Kings Canyon, but I don’t have a map at the same scale as the Sequoia-Kings Canyon map for that area. Hope this helps. Most hikers prefer the High Country maps because there is more detail on them. The contours are at 80-foot intervals rather than 200-foot intervals and we can do things like put the elevation at each trail junction."
