1953 Map of Mt. Abbot

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The high crest of the Sierra Nevada defines this 1953 field survey, capturing the dramatic hydro-electric and recreational landscape of the High Sierra before later wilderness designations. The map details the significant water management infrastructure of the era, including the Thomas A Edison Lake and Florence Lake reservoirs, supported by the Hooper Diversion Dam and various gaging stations. These developments sit alongside historic backcountry routes like the John Muir Trail and the Silver Pass Trail, which provided access for early 20th-century explorers and packers.
