1956 Map of Mineral King

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Silver City and the historic settlement of Mineral King serve as the primary human outposts in this high-elevation landscape within Sequoia National Park. The map documents a transition from early industrial extraction to preservation, evidenced by the presence of Dillon Mill alongside numerous protected giant sequoia stands like Atwell Grove, Oriole Grove, and Garfield Grove. The East Fork Kaweah River and South Fork Kaweah River carve through steep topography, where access was largely restricted to routes like the Hockett Trail.
