1979 Map of Dardanelles Cone

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Stanislaus National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape along the border of Alpine and Tuolumne counties. The dramatic volcanic formations of The Dardanelles and the prominent Dardanelles Cone anchor the southwest, while a network of peaks like Airola Peak, Iceberg Peak, and Folger Peak create a jagged skyline to the north. This 1970s survey captures the region's recreational infrastructure, featuring sites such as Liahona Camp, Sand Flat Campground, and the Peaceful Pines Amphitheater. The era's focus on wilderness preservation and access is evident through the path of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and various pack trails including the Marshall Canyon Trail and Gardner Meadow Trail. High alpine water sources including Highland Lakes, Half Moon Lake, and the winding Clark Fork suggest a landscape primarily used for seasonal grazing and outdoor tourism before the late 20th-century shifts in forest management.
