1953 Map of Mt Abbot

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Silver Divide and Mono Divide dominate this high-altitude landscape of the central Sierras, where water management and wilderness travel define the geography. The presence of the John Muir Trail highlights the region's importance for alpine recreation, winding through high meadows like Quall Meadows and past remote camps such as Fish Camp and Kip Camp. Engineering footprints are visible at the Bear Diversion Dam and Hooper Diversion Dam, part of the complex hydroelectric systems feeding into Lake Thomas A Edison and Florence Lake. Local industry is represented by the Pick and Shovel Mine near Jackson Meadow, suggesting the area's small-scale prospecting history. The terrain is a dense network of glacial basins and granite summits, including Mt Abbot and the distinct peaks of The Pinnacles, bordering the Sierra National Forest and Inyo National Forest.
