The World's tallest Tree
The world's tallest living tree is the Stratosphere Giant measuring 112.7 m (370 ft) as of July 2004. This coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) was discovered by Chris Atkins (USA) in August 2000 in the Rockefeller Forest of the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, California, USA. The precise location of the giant tree is always kept secret by the Park Rangers in case enthusiastic tree fans accidentally damage its fragile environment. The second tallest tree living, known as The Federation Giant, measures 112 m (368 ft) and also lives at the Humboldt Redwoods State Park.

This is one tree I photographed last year.
Honestly, it's environment is not more fragile than the average redwood in that park.

It's more the tree they want to protect, and prevent it's habitat from becoming fragile.
Makes sense not to give a map to it. A few visitors is inconsequential, but a continuous daily stream of people would be undesireable.
