2012 Map of Mariposa Grove

About this map

Mariposa Grove serves as the focal point of this high-altitude landscape, where the iconic Grizzly Giant and the Tunnel Tree stand as significant botanical landmarks. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising toward Buena Vista Peak and Mount Raymond, which dominate the eastern and southern horizons. This 2012 survey illustrates a complex network of alpine water systems, with the S Fork Merced River and Chilnualna Cr carving through the granite geography, the latter feeding the spectacular Chilnualna Fall.
