1967 Map of Mineral King

About this map

Mineral King (Mineralking PO) and the high Sierra backcountry of the Sequoia National Park define this 1967 survey. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of Sierra Redwoods, including the Oriole Grove, and high alpine basins dotted with glacial lakes like Eagle Lake and Monarch Lakes. Human activity is concentrated along the East Fork Kaweah River, where Silver City and Camp Conifer provide small hubs of settlement amid the high-altitude terrain. The map records essential wilderness infrastructure for the era, such as the Atwell Mill Ranger Station, the Mineral King Guard Station, and the Cahoon Rock Lookout. The presence of the Hockett Trail and Mineral King Trail highlights the historic routes used to navigate the Western Divide and the surrounding mountain passes.
