1985 Map of Mount Whitney

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Mount Whitney towers over the high sierra divide in this mid-1980s record, marking the border where Sequoia National Park meets the Inyo National Forest. The landscape is defined by its extreme alpine topography, featuring the intersection of the John Muir Trail and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. Historically significant sites like the Crabtree Ranger Station provide a human anchor amidst the collection of high-altitude features such as Tulainyo Lake and the Hitchcock Lakes. The map traces the rugged path of Lone Pine Creek and Crabtree Creek, revealing the intricate drainage patterns that feed into Mirror Lake and Guitar Lake. This provisional survey preserves the nomenclature of the era, from the sheer granite of Keeler Needle to the broad expanse of Clyde Meadow.
