1953 Map of Mt. Abbot

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

John Muir Trail winds through this high-altitude landscape of the High Sierra, connecting a series of remote passes and alpine basins during the early 1950s. The region is defined by its massive granite peaks, including Mt Abbot and Mt Izaak Walton, and the sprawling Silver Divide. Evidence of early resource extraction and water management appears at the Pick and Shovel Mine and various hydroelectric infrastructures like the Hooper Diversion Dam and Bear Diversion Dam. The map documents a wilderness transitioning into a managed recreational landscape, where named features such as Lake of the Lone Indian, Fish Camp, and Seven Gables denote early backcountry landmarks. The boundary between the Sierra National Forest and Inyo National Forest follows the jagged crest, illustrating the complex geography of the Fresno, Mono, and Inyo county lines.
