1956 Map of Matterhorn Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Twin Lakes and the settlement at Anaho Village anchor this mid-century topographic survey of the High Sierra. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation boundary between Yosemite National Park and the Toiyabe National Forest, where steep glaciated terrain creates a dense network of alpine water bodies like Peeler Lake, Crown Lake, and Rock Island Lake. The map details the early recreational and industrial footprint of Mono County, showing developed sites such as Honeymoon Flat Campground and the Robinson Creek Campground alongside long-standing livestock operations like the Hunewill Ranch. Mining history is evident at the Tamarack Mine and the May Lundy Mine, while isolated outposts like McMillan Cabin and Bogards Camp indicate the era's sparse but active mountain habitation.
