1912 Map of Mt. Goddard

About this map

Sierra National Forest and Inyo National Forest meet at the high granite crests of the southern Sierra Nevada, where this survey captures the landscape before modern road access or extensive hydro-development. The eastern edge reveals early infrastructure near Round Valley, including an Old Brewery and a Power Station along the drainages of North Fork Bishop Creek. The interior is defined by a sequence of glacial recesses and high-altitude lakes such as the Lake of the Lone Indian and Lake Sabrina. The map details the seasonal economy of the high country, marking numerous camps and grazing lands like Andrews Camp, Dutch Johns Meadow, and Goats Meadow. These locations, along with established trails over Piute Pass and Bishop Pass, reflect the region's early 20th-century use for mountaineering and livestock movement across the county lines of Mono, Inyo, and Fresno.
