About this map

El Portal serves as a central hub along the Merced River in this 2012 survey of the Sierra Nevada foothills. The map reveals a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the river canyon floor to high points like Trumbull Peak and Eagle Peak. Significant infrastructure for recreation and forestry is visible, including the Indian Flat Campground, Redbud Picnic Area, and the Trumbull Lookout.

Smaller settlements and historical locations such as Foresta, Hite Cove, and Incline are connected by a network of forest routes and trails like Moss Canyon Truck Trl. The geography is further detailed by numerous drainages including Crane Creek and Moss Creek, which flow toward the river. This edition clearly delineates the Yosemite National Park Bdy, highlighting the intersection of public lands and local communities at the park's western edge.
