1953 Map of Mono Craters

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Mono Lake and the volcanic landscape of the Pumice Valley dominate this mid-century survey of the Eastern Sierra. The settlement of Lee Vining serves as a gateway to the high country, with the Tioga Road winding past the Powerhouse and into Yosemite National Park via Tioga Pk. To the south, the developing recreation and residential areas around June Lake and Gull Lake are clearly established, including June Lake Junction and the State Fish Hatchery. The map illustrates a complex water management system featuring an Aqueduct, Tunnel, and several reservoirs like Grant Lake and Agnew Lake. Evidence of local industry is found at the Log Cabin Mine and a Gravel Pit near the Lee Vining RS. High-altitude landmarks such as Mt Dana, Mono Pass, and the Kuna Crest define the wilderness boundary between the park and Inyo National Forest.
