1992 Map of Falls Ridge

About this map

Glen Aulin serves as a central waypoint in this high-altitude wilderness, where the Tuolumne River descends through a series of dramatic water features. This 1992 provisional survey documents the hydraulic energy of the landscape, tracing the river's path from Tuolumne Falls and the White Cascade down through California Falls, Le Conte Falls, and the notable Waterwheel Falls. These features define the upper reaches of the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne River, a geological corridor flanked by granite heights like Falls Ridge and Pothole Dome.
