1982 Map of Mt. Abbot

About this map

John Muir Wilderness dominates this high-altitude landscape at the intersection of Fresno, Inyo, and Mono counties. The terrain is characterized by a series of deep glacial carved valleys known as the First Recess, Second Recess, Third Recess, and Fourth Recess, which channel drainage into Mono Creek. These features illustrate the dramatic alpine topography of the central Sierra Nevada, where towering peaks like Mt Abbot and Mt Stanford serve as anchors for the Mono Divide.
