1988 Map of Mineral King

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Mineral King serves as the focal point for this high-altitude survey of the southern Sierra Nevada, where the East Fork Kaweah River originates. The landscape is defined by the Great Western Divide and the intersection of the Sequoia National Park and Sequoia National Forest. Evidence of the region's late 19th-century silver mining boom is visible through the Empire Mine, Lady Franklin Mine, and the Chihuahua Mine, along with the Empire Mill (Ruins). This edition documents the area just before significant environmental protections were finalized, showing the transition from industrial extraction to a protected wilderness. Notable high-country waypoints include the Crabtree Cabin (Ruins) and the Cold Spring Campground, providing reference points for those tracing historical trails over Sawtooth Pass or through Farewell Gap into the Golden Trout Wilderness.
