1990 Map of Half Dome

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Half Dome stands as the centerpiece of this topographic study, anchoring the high sierra landscape above the Merced River. In the valley floor, the development of visitor services is well-established by the early 1990s, centered around Yosemite Village, Curry Village, and the Ahwahnee Hotel. The map documents the intricate infrastructure of the park, from the historic Chapel to the network of bridges like the Stoneman Bridge and Happy Isles Bridge. Beyond the valley walls, the terrain transitions into the Yosemite Wilderness, where a vast network of trails—including the John Muir Trail, Mist Trail, and Pohono Trail—links landmarks such as Glacier Point and Sentinel Dome. The inclusion of various facilities like Sunnyside Campground, the Nature Center, and the remote Ski Hut near Ostrander Lake illustrates the dual nature of the park as both a developed destination and a protected wilderness area.
