1953 Map of Mono Craters

Tracing the dramatic elevation change from Mono Lake up to Mt Dana, the map details a complex network of glacial lakes and high passes like Mono Pass and Parker Pass. Evidence of local industry and mountain access is visible through the Log Cabin Mine and the winding path of the Tioga Pass Road. The small settlements of Lee Vining RS and June Lake serve as the primary hubs for this high-altitude wilderness during the mid-century.
