2012 Map of Mount Clarence King

About this map

Mount Clarence King stands as the centerpiece of this high-elevation survey, surrounded by a complex network of glacial basins and alpine passes. The landscape is defined by its dramatic drainage systems, including Woods Creek and its southern fork, which lead into prominent basins like the Sixty Lake Basin and Gardiner Basin. The topographic data highlights critical transit points for early explorers and mountain travelers, such as Kearsarge Pass, Baxter Pass, and Glen Pass. These routes connect remote meadows like Junction Meadow and Vidette Meadow with a series of high-altitude water bodies, most notably the Rae Lakes and Charlotte Lake. The presence of features like Painted Lady and Fin Dome alongside family-named peaks such as Mount Gould and Mount Rixford reflects the era of early mountain surveying and the naming of the high country by various scientific and geographic expeditions.
