About this map

Yosemite National Park and the adjacent Sierra National Forest dominate this mid-century survey, showcasing the high-altitude drainage systems of the Merced River. The map highlights a landscape defined by glacial activity and early backcountry infrastructure, featuring the Lyell Glacier in the northeast and several established outposts like the Merced Lake Ranger Sta and Clover Meadow Ranger Sta. Industrial activity is represented by the Strawberry Tungsten Mine near the southern edge, a notable contrast to the surrounding recreational sites.
