1967 Map of Marion Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Kings Canyon National Park dominates this high-altitude survey, showcasing a landscape defined by the deep glacial carving of the Middle Fork Kings River and the South Fork Kings River. The terrain transitions from the floor of the Kings Canyon at Cedar Grove up to the towering heights of Marion Peak and the Cirque Crest. This 1967 revision captures the primitive character of the Sierra Nevada wilderness before modern high-impact recreation, marking the historic Muir Trail as it traverses the White Divide and descends toward Simpson Meadow. Notable landmarks for backcountry historians include the Kanawyers (Site), representing an era of early mountain hospitality, and evocatively named features like the Gorge of Despair and Lake of the Fallen Moon. The map meticulously tracks the intricate network of alpine drainage, from Blue Canyon Falls to the sprawling Lake Basin, illustrating the hydrographic complexity of the Fresno County highlands.
