1988 Map of Marion Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Kings Canyon National Park dominates this high-altitude landscape in the Sierra Nevada, where the drainage of the Middle Fork Kings River meets complex glacial formations. The map details a wilderness defined by its dramatic verticality, from the high summits of Marion Peak and State Peak to the deep recesses of the Glacier Valley. Notable water features include the high alpine Lake Basin and the uniquely named Lake of the Fallen Moon situated near the headwaters of East Fork Dougherty Creek. The landform distribution reflects intense geological action, with the massive Muro Blanco ridge and the jagged Monarch Divide separating major watersheds. Remote grazing and camping areas like Horseshoe Meadows provide rare flat ground amidst a sea of granite peaks and falling water at Triple Falls.
