1953 Map of Marion Peak

About this map

Tunemah Peak and the high granite spires of the Marion Peak region dominate this mid-century survey of the southern Sierra Nevada. The map documents the wilderness as it was managed before the modern era of high-traffic backcountry recreation, featuring the storied Muir Trail as it traverses the Sequoia Kings Canyon National Park border. The drainage of the Middle Fork Kings River is captured in detail, showing historical stopping points like the Kanawyers site and the established grounds at Cedar Grove.
