1948 Map of Mt. Goddard

About this map

Lake Sabrina and the high peaks of the Glacier Divide define this landscape on the border of the Sierra National Forest and Inyo National Forest. Published in 1958, this map captures the remote crest of the Sierra Nevada just before mid-century, documenting early alpine recreation and high-altitude mining efforts. Resource extraction is evident at the Cardinal Mine and Schober Mine, while several prospects like the Lindner Prospect indicate the geological interest of the era. The mapping of the Muir Trail as it crosses Muir Pass shows the established path for backcountry exploration through the Goddard Divide. Established outposts like Parchers Camp, Andrews Camp, and Glacier Camp provided essential bases for hikers and miners venturing into the steep canyons and glacial basins of the Kings Canyon National Park borderlands.
