1992 Map of El Capitan

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

El Capitan stands as the towering focal point of this survey, overlooking the western reaches of the Yosemite Valley. The map details the complex transportation and recreation infrastructure of Yosemite National Park in the early 1990s, from the developed slopes of the Badger Pass Ski Area to the historic Old Coulterville Road. The settlement patterns of Foresta and Yosemite West contrast with the protected expanse of the Yosemite Wilderness, while the southern half of the sheet shows the transition into the Sierra National Forest along Henness Ridge. Visitors entering via the Arch Rock Entrance would find the Merced River carving through the Merced Gorge, flanked by world-renowned granite features like the Cathedral Spires and the Leaning Tower. This edition records the area before significant changes to the Wawona Road and park facilities occurred in the late 20th century.
