1953 Map of Merced Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Merced Peak stands as a central monument in this 1950s survey of the high Sierra, where the boundaries of Yosemite National Park and Sierra National Forest converge. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Merced River and Illilouette Creek, showing the primitive infrastructure of the early 20th-century backcountry. High-altitude outposts like the Merced Lake Ranger Sta and Clover Meadow Ranger Sta serve as markers for early wilderness management.
