2015 Map of Mount Dana

About this map

The massive Mount Dana stands as the sentinel of the crest where Yosemite National Park meets the Inyo National Forest. This high-altitude landscape of the Sierra Nevada is defined by its glacial carving, featuring deep incisions like Lee Vining Canyon and Glacier Canyon. Water management and hydroelectric history are evident at the Poole Power Plant, which utilizes the steep drop from alpine basins. The map captures the dramatic transition from the granite peaks and high meadows like Dana Meadows down toward the western shores of Mono Lake. Notable summits including Mt Warren and Mt Gibbs frame the rugged canyons and lakes such as Ellery Lake and Walker Lake, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Lee Vining Cr and Walker Cr systems.
