About this map

Mount Clarence King stands as a central landmark in this 1990s provisional survey of the High Sierra, marking a landscape where the Kings Canyon National Park and the John Muir Wilderness converge. The terrain is defined by high-altitude basins and significant trekking routes, most notably the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which threads through the eastern portion of the map.

Hydrological and glacial features dominate the area, from the Sixty Lake Basin to the clustered Rae Lakes and Kearsarge Lakes. The map also delineates the California Bighorn Sheep Zoological Area, reflecting late 20th-century conservation boundaries. This study provides a precise look at the backcountry geography before the era of digital mapping, including named landmarks like Mount Bago and Fin Dome.
