1992 Map of Falls Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Falls Ridge dominates the central landscape of this high-altitude survey within the Yosemite National Park and Yosemite Wilderness. The terrain is defined by a dramatic hydraulic sequence along the Tuolumne River, where the water descends through Le Conte Falls, California Falls, and White Cascade. This area is a critical junction for backcountry travelers, anchored by the Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp and the intersection of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail near Glen Aulin. The map captures the complex alpine drainage system including Matterhorn Creek, Cathedral Creek, and Return Creek, feeding into high lakes like Rodgers Lake and Virginia Lake. It provides a technical record of the granite peaks and glacial valleys before late-century management changes, including the presence of a Sewage Disposal Pond near the Tuolumne meadows area.
