About this map

Mount Dana and the surrounding high Sierra peaks define this 1988 landscape, where three major wilderness areas and a national park converge. This survey documents the intersection of Hoover Wilderness, Ansel Adams Wilderness, Inyo National Forest, and Yosemite National Park. The topography is dominated by dramatic elevation changes, from the shores of Mono Lake in the east to the Dana Glacier and Dana Plateau in the west.

Evidence of historical land use and recreation is visible through features like the Log Cabin Mine, the Log Cabin Wilderness Boy Scout Camp, and several high-altitude campgrounds. The Tioga Road corridor serves as the primary artery through this terrain, passing by the Lee Vining Ranger Sta and the Gaging Station near Tioga Lake. Numerous glacial lakes, including Gardisky Lake and Gibbs Lake, feed into the drainage systems of Lee Vining Creek and the Dana Fork.
