1983 Map of Mt. Darwin

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Mt Darwin and the high alpine crest of the Sierra Nevada dominate this 1983 survey, which captures a landscape defined by dramatic glaciation and wilderness conservation. The boundary between Kings Canyon National Park and the John Muir Wilderness follows the jagged ridgeline of the Glacier Divide, connecting peaks such as Mt Goethe and Mt Mendel. A primary thoroughfare for mountain travelers, the John Muir Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the southwestern sector, passing the McClure Meadow Ranger Station. The map highlights a concentration of active ice bodies, including the Goethe Glacier, Darwin Glacier, and Powell Glacier, alongside numerous tarns and basins like Humphreys Basin. From the headwaters of Piute Creek to the eastern lakes feeding the Middle Fork Bishop Creek, this record provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of the High Sierra before modern climate shifts significantly altered these perennial snowfields.
