1985 Map of Mt. Clarence King

About this map

Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (John Muir Trail) traverses this high-altitude landscape within Kings Canyon National Park, providing a vital corridor for travel through the Sierra Nevada during the mid-1980s. The terrain is defined by extreme elevations and glacial features, including the Sixty Lake Basin and the prominent King Spur. Significant peaks such as Mount Clarence King, Mount Cotter, and Mt Rixford dominate the horizon, while high-mountain passes like Glen Pass and Kearsarge Pass serve as traditional crossing points between the drainage of Bubbs Creek and the eastern slopes of the Inyo National Forest. This survey captures the specialized land use of the era, identifying the California Bighorn Sheep Zoological Area along the county boundaries. Notable resting spots for travelers and researchers are marked at Vidette Meadow and Junction Meadow, alongside numerous alpine water bodies like Charlotte Lake and Bullfrog Lake.
