About this map

Kings Canyon National Park and Sequoia National Park meet in this high-altitude survey of the Sierra Nevada crest. The map documents the intricate network of high-elevation trails and camps during the mid-1950s, centered on the towering summit of Mount Whitney. The John Muir Trail is traced as it winds through glacial basins and over steep dividers like Forester Pass, illustrating the primitive transportation routes used by early rangers and mountaineers.
