USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Yosemite National Park and the surrounding Sierra National Forest are documented here during a period of mid-century backcountry management. The high-altitude terrain is defined by the Merced River and its numerous forks, including the Lyell Fork and Illilouette Creek. Settlement is restricted to essential wilderness outposts like the Merced Lake Ranger Sta and remote dwellings such as Chetwood Cabin and Knoblock Cabin.
