1912 Map of Mt. Goddard

About this map

High Sierra crests and the early development of the eastern slope define this 1907-1909 survey. The map centers on the formidable peaks of the Sierra National Forest and Inyo National Forest, tracing the Muir Trail as it winds through high alpine basins. To the east, the landscape drops into the Owens Valley drainage, where Round Valley and Wells Meadow indicate early agricultural settlements near the Indian Reservation boundary. Notable water features like Lake Sabrina, South Lake, and Florence Lake are depicted alongside the intricate drainage systems of Mono Creek and Bear Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain before major hydroelectric expansion, capturing the primary meadow systems such as Evolution Meadow and McClure Meadow that served as critical landmarks for early backcountry travelers and surveyors like Geo. R. Davis.
