1990 Map of El Capitan

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

El Capitan and the sheer verticality of the Gorge of the Merced dominate this survey, capturing the gateway to the valley floor as it was managed in the late 1980s. The map details the developed infrastructure of the high country, from the Badger Pass Ski Area and its lifts to the concentrated residential pockets at Yosemite West and Foresta. Beyond the granite monoliths, the presence of a Quarry near Monroe Meadows and various Radio Facilities atop Turtleback Dome reflect the practical maintenance and communication needs of the Yosemite National Park interior.
