1949 Map of El Portal
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The Merced River canyon serves as the central artery for this late-1940s survey, where the Yosemite All-Year Highway snakes alongside the water toward the eastern boundary of Yosemite National Park. Small outposts and worker settlements like El Portal, Rancheria Flat, and Incline are clustered along the riverbanks, reflecting the region's historical role as a gateway for both tourism and early industrial activities. Higher elevations are marked by the presence of Merced Grove Big Trees and various fire lookouts such as the one atop Trumbull Peak.
